Description | THE SNP was last night plunged into a cash-for-access row after a Scotland on Sunday investigation revealed the party is selling time with First Minister Alex Salmond and senior ministers in return for payments worth thousands of pounds.
SNP chiefs are charging companies almost £10,000 a time for a series of highly prized meetings with Salmond and other senior party figures at the party's conference in Aviemore next month. A private dinner with finance secretary John Swinney is also being touted, with seats being charged at up to £950, swelling the party coffers by as much as £42,500. |
