"SIX MSPs are set to go on a £2500 trip to Iceland - via the United States. The cross-party group are due to spend three days in Iceland on their way home from Tartan Week in America in April. They are expected to discuss renewable energy, tourism and fishing.
Parliament officials said it had been the practice in previous years to combine the Tartan Week trip to the US with a visit to another country - but in the past, that has meant crossing the border into Canada. This time, the MSPs, led by presiding officer George Reid, will fly to Iceland for a three-day stopover with an unspecified programme."
This fondness for junkets is reminiscent of certain West of Scotland councils. Do they have no shame? On second thoughts, obviously not.
