So Mr Smith reads of yet another fallout between the Scottish and UK Governments on the issue of additional support for Scottish farmers after the latest foot-and-mouth outbreak.
The issue now seems to be the fact that the Scottish Government appear to feel there are no restrictions on the usage of communications between themselves and their UK counterparts even at civil service level. Mr Smith suggests the Scottish Government won't be given that option for much longer and that effective communication between Scotland and the rest of the UK will suffer as a result.
If you can't comment in "confidence" on issues before decisions are made at a governmental or ministerial level then that can only and will only lead to poor government.
