AN SNP MP has hit back at criticism of Scottish independence on the Jeremy Vine show with a list of Scotland's outstanding assets.

Drew Hendry gave the list – which included statistics about Scotland’s share of UK wealth, crude oil, natural gas and renewable energy output among other things – to host Vine, who delighted in displaying it on the Channel 5 programme.

The MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey was replying to claims by Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, that Scotland had little more than “oil” and a “monster in a lake”.

Hendry passed his list of Scottish assets to Vine at the end of a charity event in London which both had attended.

Sharing footage of Vine displaying the list on his show, the MP commented: “For those of you who caught Paul Burrell's comments on Scotland the other day.

“I met Jeremy Vine at an event I was hosting in Parliament and I was happy to set the record straight!”

He added: “Fair play to Jeremy for taking my note on board.”

Vine also shared "impressive" Hendry’s list on Twitter, praising the MP for his good humour.

Vine’s show had attracted a barrage of criticism from Scots on social media after Burrell’s comments.

Fellow panellist Carole Malone also incorrectly claimed that polling suggested support for the Union is higher now than at the time of the referendum.

The SNP have since launched an official complaint with Ofcom after Channel 5 ignored and failed to reply to emails from the party raising concerns.

The party says the broadcast was in breach of sections 5.7 and 5.9 Ofcom’s broadcasting code, citing the lack of impartiality and Vine’s insistence in continuing the discussion despite a lack of a pro-independence voice.
