WESTMINSTER'S Foreign Affairs Committee has cancelled a session in Edinburgh next month because the Scottish Government refused to attend to give evidence on the inquiry by MPs into the impact of Scottish independence on foreign policy.
The Herald was told the committee has been trying for five weeks to arrange an evidence session with the SNP administration but Holyrood was proving "unco-operative" and had failed to confirm Fiona Hyslop, its External Affairs Minister, would attend on November 13.
