Disgraced former SNP minister Derek Mackay invited to appear at CalMac ferry fiasco committee

Disgraced former SNP minister Derek Mackay has been invited to give evidence in person to a committee of MSPs investigating the delayed Ferguson Marine ferries.

Mackay was Transport Minister when the contract was approved to build two ferries at the Port Glasgow shipyard.
