Sturgeon and Swinney 'should be asked to give evidence' in Ferguson ferries probe

The First Minister and Deputy First Minister should be asked to give oral evidence to a committee of MSPs investigating the delayed Ferguson Marine ferries.

This is according to Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesman Willie Rennie, who called for Nicola Sturgeon, John Swinney and former infrastructure secretary Keith Brown to join former transport secretary Derek Mackay in giving evidence at Holyrood’s Public Audit Committee.

Mackay was transport minister when the contract was approved to build two ferries at the Port Glasgow shipyard and has already been invited to give evidence in person after the Scottish Parliament’s summer recess.
