ROLE FOR SPT BOSS

A DISGRACED quango boss has been given a key role in Glasgow's majority Labour administration.

Alistair Watson, who resigned as chairman of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) amid an expenses scandal in 2010, is to be Labour's new business manager, policing the conduct of the party's 44 councillors. He is expected to then become the council's business manager.
