The Holyrood committee investigating the procurement of two late and over-budget ferries has confirmed the First Minister will appear before it on November 4.
Nicola Sturgeon last month accepted a request to give evidence before the Public Audit Committee, saying she was “very willing” to appear.
The committee is examining the procurement and construction of the Glen Sannox and as-yet-unnamed Hull 802, which are set to be delivered more than five years later than planned and cost three times more than expected.
