John Swinney has said he will consider changing planning laws in the wake of a massive blaze which destroyed an historic building next to Scotland’s busiest train station.

The First Minister said he would consider a plea from backbench MSP Stuart McMillan to give transport bodies a greater say on what type of businesses can be located close to “key transport hubs”.
