Ferguson Marine employees can speak to a watchdog over the issues experienced at the yard, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
A report by Audit Scotland released last month found that the ferries would be delivered at least five years late and cost as much as £240m – a figure which now stands at £250m following an update.
The auditor general Stephen Boyle said last week he was not able to speak to anyone connected with the yard because of a non-disclosure agreement, but added on Thursday that he would speak to staff members should the agreement be waived.
