Scotland’s First Minister has called a senior UK Government minister “juvenile” amid a spat over information about the US military using a Scottish airport to seize a Venezuela-linked oil tanker in the North Atlantic.
Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander said on Thursday morning that he had offered to brief John Swinney on America’s use of Wick airport during its operation to capture the Marinera, which was later moored in Scottish waters, but that he did not accept.
