The Scotsman Cartoon: Salmond needs the Doctor
First Minister Alex Salmond told MSPs at Holyrood that Sir Ian Wood was “an authority on North Sea oil and gas” but “not the only authority”.
He said: “The figure I have often quoted of up to 24 billion barrels is not a Scottish Government figure at source, it is a figure that the industry produced, and I think it is a robust figure.”
Perhaps the First Minister would be better calling on the services of Doctor Who, who returns to TV tonight with Scottish star Peter Capaldi making his debut.
