AN SNP MSP has sparked debate after claiming Salitre flags were being confiscated from at BBC Proms in the Park in Glasgow - but that Union flags were being permitted.

Sandra White, SNP MSP for Glasgow Kelvin, was at the event in Glasgow Green on Saturday, from where she posted a series of tweets and images.

She shared a snap of a group of women holding the Scottish flag, and wrote: “At Proms in the Park guess what told couldn’t bring saltire into Green well here is it proud.”

She later added: “Just spoke to security they are confiscating the Saltires on who’s orders BBC ?”

Ms White then shared a photo of Union flags being waved in the crowds, writing: “After being told no saltires and seen ones with sticks confiscated look what I’ve spotted.”

Conservative MSP for Glasgow, Adam Tomkins, hit back: “Sandra, you are beyond parody.”

Ms White later added: “I can assure you I had no pole / stick and was told my flag was not allowed even went to supervisor and was told the same.”

“I will be contacting BBC appears it is event company who are in charge who make rules can you confirm this BBC,” she added.

A BBC Scotland spokeswoman told the Evening Times no saltires were banned at Proms in the Park. She also said any flag on a flagpole was not permitted onsite “due to health and safety reasons.”

However, a dissatisfied Ms White insisted the flags were being confiscated.

She hit back: “In reply to BBC Scotland I can assure you I was told that I could not bring flag into Green I had no poles / sticks also the saltires I and others saw confiscated and in bins were small and on sticks.”

Responding to Mr Tomkins’ comment, she told The Scottish Sun: “The embarrassment is Professor Tomkins has two jobs. He can’t even be full-time in Parliament. He should be looking after his so-called region of Glasgow.”

The BBC has previously been accused of bias when it comes to the topic of Scottish independence, with former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond among those to criticise the broadcaster.

A poll conducted by the Evening Times in May found a staggering 89 per cent of readers believed the BBC was biased in the run up to 2014’s referendum.
