McAveety Sacked The Scottish Parliament's Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Frank McAveety, has been sacked by First Minister Jack McConnell in a reshuffle of his cabinet.

He was spoken to by the First Minister and apologied to parliament. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
