A Holyrood committee has written to Nicola Sturgeon seeking specific documents around the procurement of the overdue Ferguson Marine ferries.

The convener of the Public Audit Committee also set out his “disappointment” at the level of detail he received in a submission from cabinet secretary Keith Brown.

The First Minister spoke to the committee in person for nearly two hours on Friday last week as it investigated issues around the Glen Sannox and the as-yet-unnamed hull 802.

During her appearance, she strongly denied a suggestion from an MSP that the contract represented “jobs for the boys”.

Committee convener Richard Leonard also expressed his displeasure that the substantive part of Mr Brown’s submission amounted to only 150 words.
