Commenting on the news that Audit Scotland are to investigate the Scottish Government funding provided to T in the Park.
Liz Smith MSP said:
"I think the public will be relieved that Audit Scotland has taken this decision to investigate the controversial issues surrounding the award of £150,000 to T in the Park.
“It was clear from the Education and Culture Committee evidence sessions that MSPs remained unhappy about the lack of evidence to support a clear cut business case for the award and about the lack of detailed information regarding how the money was spent.
“Audit Scotland must now be allowed to pursue matters to provide the level of scrutiny which has been absent from the Scottish Government.”
