Green circular economy minister Lorna Slater expensed a private boat trip 127 times the cost of a £9.40 CalMac return ticket.
First Minister Humza Yousaf has said the £1,200 spent by minister Lorna Slater on a private boat to get to the Isle of Rum was a good use of public money.
Ms Slater visited the island, off the north-west coast of Scotland, last month to discuss the future of Kinloch Castle. It came after City financier and former Tory donor Jeremy Hosking withdrew a bid for the Edwardian property, blaming an intervention from Ms Slater. But Scottish Tory transport spokesman Graham Simpson said: “The Government she’s a member of has created mayhem on Scotland’s ferry network through their incompetence. And yet she thought it appropriate to shun a CalMac ferry at less than a tenner a head return to shell out £1200 of public money on a chartered boat to take her and her team to Rum.”
