STEPHEN Flynn has insisted it was "appropriate" for his local branch of the SNP to receive a £30,000 donation from a senior figure in the renewables sector.
The Nationalists' leader at Westminster also rejected any suggestion the Aberdeen South branch should return the money donated by Flotation Energy co-chief technical officer Allan MacAskill.
Flynn wrote to SNP Energy Minister Gillian Martin in October 2023 to help the firm break a "consent logjam" affecting plans for a large floating wind farm off Peterhead.
The project was granted consent in April. MacAskill brother of former Alba MP and Justice Secretary Kenny-sent funds to Aberdeen South SNP in May. The Record first revealed last month that Flynn's branch received the donation - which was the biggest received by any Scottish MP.
