Stop the Shilly Shallying
News reports today confirm that John Scott - chief executive of Glasgow's Commonwealth Games project has resigned - after failing to declare an 'offer' he received from a potential supplier.
Now on the face of things John Scott appears to have acted honourably - which is almost unheard of these days, of course.
In the blink of an eye, Mr Scott has admitted his error of judgement - and left his £180,000 a year post - with immediate effect.
But why all the secrecy about the circumstances surrounding his resignation?
What exactly was the offer - and who made the offer to Mr Scott?
Because it might just be the case that the authorities should be taking action - against the potential supplier as well.
Apparently there are strict rules governing gifts and gratuities - which is what you would expect - given the all too obvious conflicts of interest involved.
So let's stop all this shilly shallying.
The good citizens of Glasgow deserve to know - what's really been going on.
