The Government’s focus during the current pandemic has been on ensuring that the transport providers which serve the Isles of Scilly stay operational throughout the Covid-19 outbreak and continue to provide vital services. In April 2020, Government provided up to £10.5 million for lifeline ferry and freight service operators to the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly and continues to work closely with the operators, local stakeholders and other Departments to provide clarity over support for autumn, winter and beyond.
We are aware that the Isles of Scilly Transport Board are working on proposals to improve transport services. We look forward to discussing these proposals with the Isles of Scilly Transport Board in due course.
The procurement of any new craft would be subject to competitive tender in accordance with the applicable rules.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to find (1) a new operator for the Appledore Shipyard, and (2) new orders from the defence and commercial sectors to maintain shipbuilding in that shipyard.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) remain closely engaged with Babcock and relevant stakeholders regarding the closure of Appledore shipyard. While the future of the shipyard will be a matter for the site owner, BEIS is working with the local council, which is considering options for the future of the yard.
The MOD explored a range of options with Babcock to protect Appledore, including potentially bringing forward a £60 million package of work at Devonport to provide further employment for Appledore workers. This was not, however, enough to secure the long-term future of the yard.
