Transport and delight

Rumours continue that Scottish education minister Brian Wilson is about to be reshuffled in the direction of transport. It is not clear what view the ASC would have of such a move. After Mr Wilson had addressed its conference, singing a paean of praise to the sector's "can-do" attitude, Jim Thomson, chair of Clackmannan College's board, confessed to feeling unhappy and bemused. "It's a long time since I've heard a minister speaking so positively and constructively, and there are no grounds for attacking you."
