Sturgeon: Nothing wrong with Ferguson ferry contract process

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says she doesn't "accept" the alleged "deficiencies" in the procurement of contracts to construct ferries to serve routes in the Hebrides and on the Clyde.

She rejects suggestions from former Ferguson Marine shipyard owner Jim McColl that the process was rushed for political gain, saying Audit Scotland found "nothing untoward" in the awarding of the contract to Ferguson Marine.
