Letter: Hard questions on cement deal
SURELY the question Iain Gray should be asking in connection with the cement contract for the Forth Road Crossing (News, 29 January) is not to the Scottish Government on why the contract is about to be let to a German company but to Lafarge, whose plant is at Dunbar in his constituency.
Why, with all the advantages of lower labour rates and significantly reduced transportation costs, did they fail to submit the most competitive bid?
