Sir,
Far from promoting myths about ferry privatisation, as suggested by Dr David Wilson in his letter of 7th January 2016, my letter of 24th December 2015 highlighted a few that still pertain, most notably the myth that the Scottish Government's tendering process for the Clyde and Hebrides ferry routes (currently operated by Cal Mac) is required by European law and cannot now be halted, and to which Dr Wilson still seems to be adhere.
The legal opinion cited in my letter is also far from mythical in the manner that Dr Wilson suggests. The legal opinion my letter refers to is that of Gordon Nardell QC of 24th November 2015, and available in full on the RMT's website.
