Background: John Doyle's second appearance before the Public Audit Committeepublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2016
Scotland's education secretary has told MSPs that a former college principal should pay back a severance package criticised as being too large.
John Doyle shared a £850,000 payout with six other senior staff when Coatbridge College merged with two others in 2013.
Angela Constance told the Public Audit Committee the former principal should pay his "exorbitant" package back.
However Mr Doyle told members he had "no reason" to return the money.
He first appeared before the Holyrood committee in October, when he defended the payouts and said management had been "absolutely trashed when we have done nothing wrong".
However, the former principal and chief executive was recalled to give further evidence after he was accused of "talking nonsense" to MSPs.
