Mundell denies his job is at risk

Oct 18 2009

Tory shadow Scottish Secretary David Mundell has brushed aside claims that he could lose his post if the Tories win power.

The Sunday Herald said senior Conservatives wanted party leader David Cameron to avoid appointing him as Scottish Secretary, fearing he would b be no match for Alex Salmond.

The newspaper said one alternative being considered was to make a Tory MSP a peer, in order to fill the post from the Lords.
