Ferguson Marine and Seven New Small Ferries

This morning Permanent Secretary John Paul Marks, Head of the Civil Service in Scotland, gave evidence to the Finance and Public Administration Committee.

He confirmed his advice to the SNP Government that a direct award of the £175 million small ferries contract to Ferguson Marine would have been illegal, no doubt under the UK Subsidy Control Act.

I put this to the Deputy First Minister this afternoon.
