Environ-MENTAL.


The Sunday Herald reports that "The head of the Scottish government's green watchdog is under fire for taking climate-wrecking flights last week. Sir Ken Collins, chairman of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), flew from Edinburgh to Inverness on Wednesday and then on to Orkney on Thursday. This has infuriated some of his staff, who say the flights are "very embarrassing" for Sepa."

Mr Smith suggests that Sir Collins might find it hard to break his bad environmental habits given his previous role as a Labour Member of the European Parliament, back in the old days when there was even less scrutiny of the activities of MEPs than there is now.
