Humza Yousaf has pledged to be "upfront and transparent" when it comes to an investigation into the Ferguson Marine ferry fiasco.
The Port Glasgow shipyard was awarded a multi-million pound contract to build two ferries for Caledonian Macbrayne in 2015 but neither vessel has been completed.
It was announced earlier this year that a leading lawyer would now investigate whether Fergusons was given preferential treatment when SNP ministers agreed the deal.
