The chief executive at Ovo Energy has been asked by MPs and unions to explain £40m of loans and cash transfers, after cutting hundreds of Scots jobs.
Stephen Fitzpatrick’s company was given £17m in furlough payments after taking over Perth-based SSE’s retail division in January 2020.
The Perth-headquartered business employs around 700 people, with bases in Edinburgh and Cumbernauld, where hundreds more work.
