Quango state

New £220,000 enterprise chief got job despite running failing quango FRESH doubts have been cast on the appointment of Scottish Enterprise's new chief after a parliamentary inquiry lambasted the performance of the government agency she currently runs.

Row over quango chief's pay heats up MSPS yesterday vowed to take action to force Scotland's most senior civil servant to reveal details of the financial package given to Transport Scotland's former finance chief, who quit after a row over his share portfolio.

Flagship quango runs up £4.5m bill 'doing nothing' CRITICS have hit out at the £4.5 million bill for a Scottish Government quango which has yet to achieve anything.

New quango to run public-private projects THE Scottish Government's plans to replace the controversial private-finance initiative (PFI) were last night condemned as "window-dressing".
