AN SNP MSP was forced to take part in a Holyrood committee meeting from the back of his car due to an “unusable” home connection as Scotland s Infrastructure Secretary stressed a troubled rural broadband project will help 55,000 people in isolated communities to get online by the end of the year. Stewart Stevenson, a former transport minister who represents the Banffshire and Buchan Coast constituency, explained to colleagues on Holyrood’s Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee he taking was part in the meeting from his car because his broadband was “unusable”.
