Poor show

I was appalled, but not surprised, by the behaviour of David Mundell at Wednesday’s Scottish Questions in Westminste­r.

I will give him his full title as he appears to have forgotten; he is the Secretary of State for Scotland and his duty is to represent Scotland in Westminste­r. Instead he sat dumbly in his seat, allowing a junior minister to answer on his behalf, even when prompted by Labour for a response.

When he briefly got to his feet, answers were both curt and totally lacking in detail. It was disgracefu­l display from the holder of one of the high offices of state in Scotland.
