The SNP has blocked an urgent parliamentary discussion requested by a member of its own party over the sacking of the chief executive of state-owned ferry fiasco shipyard firm Ferguson Marine.

The request to have an urgent question put was made by the SNP MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde, Stuart McMillan after Ferguson Marine CEO David Tydeman who has been at the centre of continuing concern of the escalating costs of Scotland's ferry fiasco had his contract terminated.

The move came after he told ministers further delays are “likely” over two wildly over budget lifeline ferries.

But he lost a motion for the urgent question was lost by 55 to 49. Some 25 MSPs did not vote.

Of the 55 who voted against the debate all but one were part of the SNP-Green government. Of those blocking the move 47 were SNP MPs, seven were Greens and one was from the Alba Party.

Those voting to block the move included wellbeing economy secretary Màiri McAllan, transport minister Fiona Hyslop, deputy first minister and finance secretary Shona Robison and ex-First Minster Nicola Sturgeon.

Also adding his name to those who stopped the debate was disgrace-ex transport and health secretary Michael Matheson who insisted he will stay on as an MSP despite breaching Holyrood's code of conduct.
