NFU Scotland 'fuming' at alleged misrepresentation by Douglas Ross in chlorinated chicken row The Scottish Tory leader, Douglas Ross, has been accused of twisting quotes from the National Farmers Union in the debate over US exports of chlorinated chicken and hormone-injected beef. Jonnie Hall, policy director for National Farmers Union Scotland, said he was left "fuming" after Ross quoted him agreeing that MPs had never voted in favour of cutting the UK's food quality standards.
