Alex Salmond blasts 'reckless' Lothian Buses
FIRST Minister Alex Salmond has accused Lothian Buses of behaving recklessly and making a "panicky announcement" over fuel shortages.
His comment came after last week's scare over Edinburgh's biggest bus company running out of fuel within days. Mr Salmond raised the issue yesterday as he showed UK Business Secretary John Hutton around the Scottish Government's emergency room in the basement of St Andrew's House.
Mr Salmond said: "Although they behaved rather recklessly, to say the least, they had done it on the basis of a piece of misinformation and miscommunication between themselves and BP."
Lothian Buses rejected the idea the company had been reckless or panicky.
