Bring in police

It's clear from media reports that the Holyrood Committee and previously the Auditor General have struggled to obtain comprehensive information from Scottish Government ministers regarding the process surrounding the building of the much delayed and over-budget ferries at Ferguson Marine.

With £130 million of public money now apparently disappearing without trace, it's surely time for the Lord Advocate and the police to examine the machinations surrounding the whole messy business and ascertain whether there has been any criminality or merely gross incompetence once and for all. I am sure Nicola Sturgeon would welcome the opportunity to show that her promises of making Scottish Government actions more transparent and accountable are being kept. BOB MACDOUGALL
