Carillion boss quits controversial Scotland Office role to avoid becoming a "distraction"

THE interim boss of the collapsed outsourcing giant Carillion has stepped aside as an adviser to the Scottish Secretary.

David Mundell told MPs that Keith Cochrane OBE had decided to end his role at the Scotland Office while the firm’s demise was under investigation.

He said Mr Cochrane did not want "to become a distraction".

...

As recently as Saturday the UK Government had insisted: "Mr Cochrane continues in his role with the Scotland Office."
