SNP head of communications Fergus Mutch told Sputnik that his party does not impose boycotts against media agencies and considers all interview requests without prejudice.
Earlier the Herald wrote that "the SNP has boycotted Sputnik and its sister organization RT, despite several parliamentarians appearing on the channels."
However, Fergus Mutch rebuffed these allegations, telling Sputnik via an email that "as a party we consider all requests for interview on their merits as and when they come into us."
