Pakistan finished their 50-over innings on 231-7 despite a decent bowling performance from the hosts at The Grange.
Three wickets from Majid Haq meant he became Scotland's leading wicket-taker in one-day international matches.
However, Scotland only managed 135 as Pakistan bowled out their opponents in the 40th over.
Head coach Pete Steindl's Scotland side faced Pakistan for the first time in seven years.
Pakistan last visited Scotland in 2006, winning by five wickets with 37 balls to spare at The Grange.

In addition to Haq's hat-trick for Scotland, Neil Carter, Iain Wardlaw, Rob Taylor and Matt Machan also took wickets for the hosts before lunch.
Off-spinner Haq made it 44 wickets in one-day internationals to overtake John Blain, who he was previously tied with on 41.
Scotland began batting at 15:00 BST but it did not start well as Carter was dismissed for a duck.
New captain Kyle Coetzer top scored for the hosts by reaching 32 but Pakistan's Junaid Khan and Saeed Ajmal each took three wickets of their own to bring about Scotland's demise.

Beau Marr, from Holt Park, Leeds, said her rented home has been uninhabitable for two weeks as a housing association had not sent anyone to do a deep clean.
She started to notice maggots appearing at the property, before thousands of flies started to fill the rooms.
The site owner said unavoidable delays had affected the matter being resolved.
More on this and other Yorkshire stories as they happen
The Sanctuary Group, which owns the Holt Farm Close site, was made aware of the death on 2 August, but it is believed the man in the flat directly above Ms Marr's home may have died at an earlier date.
Ms Marr, who has a five-month-old baby, said she had been forced to stay elsewhere since the infestation.
"There's flies absolutely everywhere, they're all over the floors and the beds," she said.
"This is no way for anyone to live - all we want is to come home somewhere clean and safe to stay with our family."
She added: "It should have been sorted a long time ago, landlords have a duty of care and I feel it hasn't been met."
The housing group said it was unable to access the neighbour's property until it was decided that no criminal investigation was necessary.
A further delay on a deep clean and full fumigation was caused by the deceased man's next of kin deciding not to pick up personal possessions, it added.
Simon Clark, group director of housing at the Sanctuary Group, said Ms Marr would be able to return home "within a couple of days".
He said: "Ms Marr will obviously not be expected to pay rent for the period of time she has been unable to live in her home address.
"In addition, she has also now received a payment from Sanctuary to cover her living costs while she has been staying with family and friends." | A woman whose home has been infested with flies after a dead body lay undiscovered in a flat next door says she feels "let down" by her landlord. |

During World War One, Mary Macarthur fought for equal pay and better rights for women, including for those working in "appalling conditions" in factories.
On the eve of International Women's Day, a blue plaque will be unveiled at her home in Golders Green.
She lived at 42 Woodstock Road while she was at her most prominent.
Born in Glasgow in 1880, Ms Macarthur was elected president of the Scottish National District Council of the Shop Assistants' Union in 1902, and a year later she was the first woman to be elected to its national executive.
In 1918, women workers on London buses and trams were the first to strike for equal pay, a moment she described as "a landmark for the women's movement and for trade unionism".
She also fought to end "sweated" labour, which saw women working from dawn until 11pm for less than a living wage, such as chainmakers who worked in garden sheds hammering out chain links for as little as five shillings for a 50-hour week.
During her investigation of sweated industries, she contracted diptheria.
She died in 1921 at her home in Golders Green.
Anna Eavis, curatorial director at English Heritage, described Ms Macarthur as a "truly remarkable woman".
"She was tireless in her battle for equal pay and better working conditions and was responsible at least in part for the introduction of a minimum wage and the regulation of 'sweated' working," she said.
Ms Eavis added that it was fitting to remember her achievements with a blue plaque during Women's History Month and on the eve of International Women's Day on Wednesday.
Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, said: "Thanks to her and others like her there were more than a million women in unions by 1918."
The blue plaques scheme, taken on by English Heritage in 1986, has been running since 1866 to commemorate the notable people who lived and worked in buildings in London, with the first plaque, to the poet Lord Byron, put up in 1867.
Figures show that only one in eight of the more than 900 plaques are in recognition of women. | A trade unionist who championed the rights of working women in the early 20th Century is set to be honoured with a blue plaque, English Heritage said. |

The scheme to build a new divisional headquarters on Eastern Avenue is "now regarded as too expensive", according to the police and crime commissioner.
Instead, Martin Surl has announced some police staff will remain at Bearland - a building he previously described as "ageing" and "past its sell-by date".
The desire for new city facilities has been under discussion since 2010.
"Many of the county's police stations were either closed or earmarked for closure before I was elected," said Mr Surl.
"Bearland was to be replaced by a new station on Eastern Avenue, but that is now out of the question.
"There is no way we could afford to build a brand new police station, especially when we know our budgets will come under more pressure after the next election.
"And given Bearland's prime location, keeping a presence there for the foreseeable future offers the public best value for money."
The on-site custody cell's are being closed in the new year when the new £12.4m custody suite opens in Quedgeley - four miles (6km) away.
A number of staff will be relocated to work there, with a number of staff also transferring to another new building - Prism House - which is being converted to house some of the force's investigative teams. | A plan to vacate an "ageing" police base in Gloucester in favour of building new offices has been scrapped. |

He's the first player in NBA history to score a three-point shot in 128 consecutive games, passing a mark set by Atlanta's Kyle Korver.
That comes just a few days after helping the Oakland-based Warriors - the defending NBA champions - become the fastest-ever side to 50 wins in a season. They beat a record set by Michael Jordan's all-conquering Chicago Bulls 20 years ago.
The thing is, Curry, 27 - more popularly known as Steph - just keeps on getting better. But could he take something else from Jordan - his status as the game's greatest ever player?
READ MORE: Curry sets new three-point record.
Curry was voted last season's Most Valuable Player after becoming the talisman who turned around an unfancied side and made them champions.
That's largely down to his shooting skills. He's the three-point master with 1,457 three-pointers in his seven-year career to date. It means he's on track to smash the record for most made in a career, held by Ray Allen, with 2,973.
Don't take it from us. This is what the President of the United States, Barack Obama, thinks: "Curry's the best shooter I've ever seen. In terms of being able to get his shot off from anywhere, that fast - the best I've ever seen."
Kobe Bryant, who will retire at the end of the season as one of the all-time greats, hates playing against him. When asked earlier this week who was the toughest player to guard against, there was only one answer: "It has to be Steph Curry, has to be."

Well here's Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd: "He's this generation's Jordan. We all wanted to be like Mike, and children today will grow up seeing Steph."
And this is what Vasu Kulkarni, the self-proclaimed "world's biggest Michael Jordan fan," thinks: "I never really believed that someone could be better than Jordan. I'm not saying it with conviction yet, but through the years… Kobe, LeBron, (Tim) Duncan…. I never once even bothered to entertain the possibility that any of them could be better than Mike. Jordan was, is, and always will be the greatest of all time. I always believed that I would go to my grave, knowing that to be the truth.
"Until today. What Steph Curry is doing is not normal. It's not human."
You mean The Greatest Of All Time? A brief roll of honour includes: 1985 Rookie of the Year, five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, six-time NBA championship winner, holds the NBA All-Star Game career record for highest scoring average, holds the NBA record for most seasons leading scorer (10).... you get the picture.
Curry certainly has his fans, but there are still plenty who say the retiring Kobe Bryant or LeBron James are better players. While others still insist Jordan remains incomparable.
Here's Bernie Lincicome, writing in the Chicago Tribune: "Jordan is the standard, the mark, the obsession, I suppose, and will remain so until LeBron James changes minds. The irony is that Jordan is not the best basketball player ever, which is the working definition and consuming ambition of those who would be great.
"The best basketball player ever was Oscar Robertson. The greatest basketball force was Wilt Chamberlain, and the greatest winner was Bill Russell.
"James is the current NBA standard and clearly in front of Curry by any measurement that can be applied, save three-point shots, and, really, isn't that a gimmick more than basketball?"
It's not just the points scoring and style of play that are seeing Curry mentioned in the same breath as the game's greats. Off court, he's a role model.
There's the background story too. From being overlooked for NBA draft as a college kid, to the league's Most Valuable Player, Curry's tale is that of the classic underdog.
And he's not the arrogant superstar changed by fame: "He's one of the most humble superstars there is, by far," says Warriors veteran Shaun Livingston. His faith, his beliefs and his value system is unprecedented.
"On the court it's his style of play, for one. He's a showman, but at the same time he doesn't show people up. That's hard to do in this league, because there's a line that you can cross by playing that way. His humility kind of resonates throughout the locker room."
It's why America loves him: more shirts are sold with his name on than any other athlete in more than 40 US states.
The "faith" Livingston spoke of helps his reputation too. Even the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is lauding his achievements.
Curry admitted TV executives were desperate to sign up daughter Riley - then aged just two - after she took over a post-game press conference last year.
Then last year along came a second super-cute daughter, Ryan. Together with childhood sweetheart wife Ayesha - they met at church as teenagers - the image of the perfect family unit is being lapped up by fans on social media. Ayesha, 26, has more than 2.5m followers on Instagram.
Jordan had Nike - Curry has the world at his feet.
As well as the skills on the court, it's Curry's marketability that is seeing him morph into a megastar.
One of the brands he supports, sportswear firm Under Armour, wants to build a $1bn empire around him.
OK, so doing a flat comparison doesn't tell the whole story - Jordan missed 64 games in his second season because he was injured. They might have different roles in their teams too.
And physically he's different to the to the other players who would succeed Jordan - LeBron is a 6ft 8ins, 250lb machine, for example.
But this is how they looked after seven seasons - though Curry is yet to complete his seventh year.
Who says you have to be the next Michael Jordan anyway? What's wrong with being the first Steph Curry? He plays in a different way, for one thing: "Curry is standing at the forefront of a new era of playmaker," says ESPN's David Fleming.
So much so that game developers are struggling to keep their virtual Curry in step with the real thing. Mike Wang, gameplay director of NBA 2K, the biggest basketball game in the US, told Forbes magazine: "To be completely honest, we are still looking for ways to better translate his game into NBA 2K."
The final word goes to Minnesota Timberwolves' veteran Kevin Garnett, who played at the same time as Jordan. He had this to say after his side was taken apart by Curry's magic in November: "Like Michael Jordan was a whole other thing, this guy is his own thing. It's beautiful for basketball." | Golden State Warriors' golden boy Stephen Curry has done it again - set another record, that is. |

The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge raised £100,000 since 10 March, and this will be matched by software company Red Gate.
It will pay for refurbishments and a new exhibition charting "the global impact of the computing revolution".
Museum director Jason Fitzpatrick said: "We are deeply grateful."
The museum opened in 2013, having moved from its old home in Haverhill, Suffolk, and features about 800 computers as well as old mobile phones and games consoles.
Mr Fitzpatrick said: "In its present condition, this building fails to do justice to the richness and variety of the collection.
"Although visitors can see, touch and use many of the superstar machines of the 70s, 80s and 90s, we lacked sufficient funds to show how each of these computers represents a step towards the small, powerful, multi-purpose devices most of us use today."

Mauro Zarate fired the Hammers in front when Chelsea failed to clear a corner.
Matic was sent off after being booked twice in nine minutes before the break, and Mourinho joined him after speaking to referee Jon Moss at half-time.
Gary Cahill levelled from a corner but Carroll met Aaron Cresswell's cross to send the Hammers third in the table.
Chelsea, who have now lost five of their first 10 Premier League games this season, continue to languish in the bottom half.
As well as Matic and Mourinho, the Blues' assistant first-team coach Silvino Louro was also dismissed.
Chelsea had five other players booked in a stormy east versus west London derby, the last to be played at Upton Park in the league before West Ham move to the Olympic Stadium next summer.
Zarate's goal, after Dimitri Payet's corner was not cleared, meant West Ham led at the break but his goal was not the decisive moment of the first half.
That came when Matic slipped out on the right by-line and dragged down Diafra Sakho.
The Chelsea midfielder had been booked nine minutes earlier for hauling back Cheikhou Kouyate as West Ham looked to break.
Referee Moss took his time before showing Matic a second yellow card, which brought a furious response from Chelsea.
Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas were booked as the visiting players lost their discipline, while Louro was sent from the bench.
Mourinho continued his protests at half-time and was sent to the stands for the second half after going to speak to Moss in the referee's room.
He was stood among West Ham fans when Carroll scored, but disappeared from view soon afterwards.
Matic's first booking came seconds after Chelsea thought they had equalised.
Kurt Zouma rose to head Cesc Fabregas's corner goalwards, but a combination of defender Carl Jenkinson and goalkeeper Adrian kept it out - just - before the whole ball crossed the line.
Chelsea were also denied by another marginal decision when a Fabregas goal was ruled out for offside moments before Matic was dismissed.
When Chelsea did draw level, through Cahill's opportunistic second-half finish from Willian's corner, West Ham rethought their approach.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic threw on Carroll for the last 20 minutes and the home side began pumping crosses into the box.
Carroll is yet to start a Premier League game this season because of a summer setback following a serious knee injury in February, but is getting closer to full fitness.
He was not just on for match minutes against Chelsea, however, and had the desired impact with his first goal since January.
"It's impossible to mark him in the box," Bilic said afterwards.
"His quality was never in question. If he's in good shape now we have a good chance that he will be injury-free for a long time. In that case West Ham and England will benefit from that a lot."
When asked about the mood in the dressing room, Chelsea defender Gary Cahill told BBC Sport: "It is not great - like you'd imagine when you lose games. Last season we weren't used to it.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The lads are devastated. Not many words are being said at the moment. I'm sure we'll reflect in [the] next day or so.
"You're left scratching your head sometimes. In the first half the Fabregas goal could have been given and we had the ball that was nearly over the line. That sums up the way we're going.
"And then we've got the sending off. Originally we played on - we thought the referee had played on. Maybe the assistant called it back, I'm not sure sure what's happened there.
"We've not had the rub of the green, but we're not feeling sorry for ourselves. We have to work hard to turn this round."
West Ham go to Vicarage Road on Saturday to face Watford in their next Premier League game, while Chelsea's next test is against Stoke in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.

Unison is "confident" members will vote in favour of strike action.
The health board said it is "fully committed" to resolving concerns.
Unison said it has repeatedly put the case for pay parity to managers, but the "exasperation at the lack of progress has turned to anger".
The ballot affects band two assistant technical officers (ATO) in hospital sterilisation and disinfection units and band two clerical officers in radiology.
There are 128 such staff working at Morriston and Singleton hospitals in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Princess of Wales, Bridgend, although not all are Unison members.
Unison said ATO staff are employed on band three pay in most of Wales, with ABMU workers worse off by between £466 and £1,879 a year.
It also argued that their job description is "hopelessly outdated."
Radiology staff are said to be similarly affected by a dispute over pay banding.
Mark Turner, Unison organiser for ABMU, said: "Simple justice says two healthcare workers in the Wales NHS, with the same role, responsibilities and experience, should be paid the same rate for the job.
"Staff are so angry they are likely to vote for strike action. They cannot understand why their health board values their work less than peers doing exactly the same job."
He added: "The sterilisation and disinfection unit might be 'behind the scenes' work but it is essential to the effective running of the hospital".
ABMU Health Board said it was "sorry" its discussions with Unison have been unable to resolve staff concerns.
A spokeswoman said: "We would like to make it clear that all our staff - no matter what their role within the health board - are valued and all of them contribute equally to the care of our patients.
"Only in Cardiff and Vale Health Board where restructuring has taken place, and Hywel Dda Health Board where a different service is provided, are ATOs a band three.
"We have been working with Unison to develop a new job description for ATOs and have reached agreement on all areas apart from the necessary qualification."
She added that they are also working with the radiology department to address any concerns staff have.
"ABMU is fully committed to continuing its partnership work with UNISON," she said.
"In the meantime, we would like to reassure patients should strike action go ahead we will be working to ensure any disruption to services are minimal." | Some Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board hospital workers are being balloted in a row over pay. |

Almost 60% of those reports were about children, according to the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Overall in England and Wales, 342,785 missing person calls were received - a rise of more than 20% on the previous year.
The NCA said the increase was down to "better data recording" and "improved practice around safeguarding".
Gwent Police had the highest rate of missing children reports out of all forces in England and Wales. A total of 3,559 incidents were recorded in 2015-16, a 21% rise on the previous year.
Det Supt Leanne Brustad from Gwent Police said: "Due to the improvements in the way we record these instances and the wider decision to combine missing people data with that of 'absent' data, the figures issued this year are not a like-for-like comparison on the previous year.
"Having said all that, we are not experiencing any significant trends that differ from 2014/15."
Dyfed-Powys Police saw a 55% increase in missing child incidents, up from 1,197 in 2014-15 to 1,857 in 2015-16.
Ch Supt Aled Davies said: "We acknowledge the rise in missing child incidents in our force area and will continue to work with our partner agencies when appropriate to tackle the complex underlying causes which can lead to a child going missing."
Across England and Wales, the figures revealed that people returned safely in 96% of incidents, and in just 0.4% of cases individuals were found dead.
The NCA said the latest report on missing people was the "most accurate to date".
Joe Apps, head of the NCA UK Missing Person Bureau, said: "We are working continuously with police forces to improve recording practices and computer systems."
Police guidance on the management, recording and investigation of missing persons grades them either low risk, medium risk or high risk.
There is also a fourth category, absent, which is applied to cases where there is no "apparent risk".
Mr Apps added that new police guidance, due to be published this autumn, should lead to further improvements. | Police in Wales handled an average of 50 missing people reports a day last year, new figures have shown. |

Bricks were thrown at police and a resident was attacked in Leafair during trouble on Wednesday night. There were also reports of shots being fired.
Extra local neighbourhood officers were deployed on Thursday night, and two arrests were made.
A 15-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man was arrested for assault on police and disorderly behaviour.
The boy was released pending a report from a youth diversion officer while the man has been charged to appear at Londonderry Magistrates' Court on 6 May.
Community worker Peter McDonald praised police for increasing patrols but said parents must take more responsibility for their children.
Mr McDonald warned that the Northern Ireland Housing Executive had the power to evict social housing tenants if families failed to keep their children under control.
Stephen Deery, a resident of the Leafair estate, told BBC Radio Foyle that the situation was calmer on Thursday night compared to the night before, but said large groups of youths had still gathered outside his home to drink alcohol.
Mr Deery said his family has not been able to sleep properly for the last week, because of anti-social behaviour in the street.
"We're up every night, me and my son, out trying to move them on and the abuse they give you is just terrible Then they start throwing bottles at the house and they tried to burn my hedges twice," he said.
Mr Deery also said youths had threatened to set fire to his car.
He called for part of the estate to be fenced off, to prevent young people from gathering in the area.
Ch Insp Tony Callaghan said additional local neighbourhood officers were on patrol in the city on Thursday night to "reassure residents, deal with anti-social behaviour and criminality and keep people safe".
The officer added: "The behaviour that has occurred over the last few nights is totally unacceptable and residents should not be subjected to this sort of behaviour.
"I would continue to appeal to parents to ensure that they know where their children are, who they are with and most importantly what they are doing."
Mr McDonald told BBC Radio Foyle that the community safety team met on Thursday to discuss problems in the estate.
The team is made of up representatives from the police, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, politicians and community workers.
Mr McDonald said that he personally, in the past, had "serious difficulty with policing".
However, he said the PSNI was an "accountable" policing service.
"This is not about heavy-handed policing. This is about a police service delivering a service, no different from Derry City Council, so people need to get that into their mindsets."
The community worker added: "I am prepared, along with many, many others to encourage and build upon policing."
Mr McDonald described the PSNI operation on Thursday night as "a first-class and excellent job". | The police have stepped up patrols in Londonderry after disturbances in Galliagh area of the city this week. |

Summarize the following article:
A report by the Accounts Commission, which scrutinises council spending, said a "frank, wide-ranging" debate was needed on the issue.
They said an ageing population, budget cuts and legislative changes were all putting pressure on the system.
Scotland's 32 councils currently spend about £3.1bn on social care.
That money was used to provide support to more than 300,000 people in 2014/15 - about 70% of whom were aged over 65.
The commission also said the public and service users needed to be more involved in shaping future care.
Councils plan to save £54m from their social work budgets over the next financial year, with most now only providing services for people aged over 65 assessed as being at "critical or substantial risk".
The report said: "Councils' social work departments are facing significant challenges because of a combination of financial pressures caused by a real-terms reduction in overall council spending, demographic change, and the cost of implementing new legislation and policies."
£3.1bn
Annual spending in 2014/15
300,000 people supported
759,000 unpaid carers in Scotland
£54m planned saving in 2017
27% more pensioners by 2037
The report added: "If councils and integration joint boards continue to provide services in the same way, we have estimated that these changes require councils' social work spending to increase by between £510m and £667m by 2020."
Social work departments also cover services for vulnerable children, with 17,357 youngsters being looked after by local authorities or appearing on child protection registers as of July 2015.
That represents an increase of 36% since 2000, said the report.
The overall aim of the audit by the Accounts Commission was to examine how prepared social work departments were for future financial and demographic changes.
The commission's report said that between 2012 and 2037, Scotland's population was projected to increase by 9% - that included a 27% rise in the number of people of pensionable age.
Although life expectancy had continued to rise, the number of years that a person can expect to live in good health has not changed significantly since 2008, said the report.
Recent legislative changes have seen the increased integration of health and care services and a real-terms reduction in overall council spending.
Spending on social care now accounts for a third of overall council spending in Scotland.
However, the Scottish government estimates that there are 759,000 unpaid carers aged 16 and over in Scotland, while Carers UK estimated the value of unpaid care in Scotland at £10.8bn.
The commission said that there was a recruitment issue in the care sector and low pay, anti-social hours and difficult working conditions were all adding to the crisis.
They also said that some care providers had expressed concerns that Brexit and the possibility of a future points-based immigration system could add to this.
They cited a 2008 survey which indicated that 6.1% the workforce in Scottish care homes were EU - non-UK workers, and a further 7.3% were employed under work permits from places such as the Philippines, India and China.
Just over 200,000 people work in social work and social care services, representing about one in 13 people in employment in Scotland - 85% are women.
Responding to the report, Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "The integration of health and social care services is one of the most ambitious programmes of work that this government has undertaken and we have committed over half a billion pounds towards making the integration of services a success.
"Integration will support better provision of care within communities and in people's homes - helping people to lead longer, more independent lives." | The current system of social care in Scotland is "unsustainable" and an additional £667m will be needed by 2020 to maintain levels of service. |

The Foxes dominated for much of the game at the King Power Stadium, creating numerous chances throughout, but were left with too much to do after Saul Niguez's 26th-minute header added to Atletico's one-goal advantage from the first leg in Madrid.
Needing three second half goals, Leicester responded with splendid defiance and equalised on the night when Jamie Vardy scored at the far post just after the hour.
They kept battling until the end as Atletico survived several scrambles, but the La Liga superpower held on and the Premier League's interest in the tournament ended.
Leicester City have gained huge credit and credibility in making their way to the last eight of the Champions League as England's last surviving representatives.
And even in defeat over two legs to this battle-hardened Atletico Madrid side - twice losing finalists in recent seasons - the Foxes can be proud of another monumental effort that just came up short.
Craig Shakespeare's side were second best as Atletico looked a cut above for the first 45 minutes to lead through Niguez's header, which left Leicester needing those three goals against a miserly defence.
The hosts could have been forgiven for throwing in the towel but instead came out fighting, invigorated by Shakespeare's positive half-time changes. He sent on Ben Chilwell and Leonardo Ulloa for Shinji Okazaki and defender Yohan Benalouane, flooding Vardy with greater support.
Vardy's goal was no more than they deserved and for a time they had Atletico rocking, giving the King Power Stadium belief that another miracle was on the cards. They almost added a second in goalmouth scrambles, especially when Stefan Savic blocked Vardy's goal-bound shot.
In the final reckoning, the lack of an away goal and a controversial first-leg penalty scored by Antoine Griezmann left them with a hurdle that was just too tough to surmount.
There was disappointment inside the King Power Stadium at the final whistle but it was masked by a fully deserved standing ovation for Leicester's players.
When last season's Premier League champions started their Champions League journey, many believed reaching the knockout phase would represent success - so once again they defied the odds.
Atletico Madrid are a side built in the image and likeness of their manager Diego Simeone - talented, uncompromising and streetwise.
And in the end it was that combination of qualities that made it just too tough for Leicester City to take their journey a step further into the last four.
Atletico showed their quality in the first half to score that crucial away goal, then demonstrated the resilience that has taken them to two Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016 [both lost to arch-rivals Real Madrid].
It needed a mixture of defiance and desperation but in the end it was enough to send them into another Champions League semi-final.
This may be the last Champions League night at the King Power for some time - and if it is, Leicester City made sure it left plenty to remember them by.
The pre-match ceremonials were raucous and spectacular, with pyrotechnics, dry ice and fireworks whipping the home fans into a noisy frenzy.
Atletico were unmoved by the atmosphere early on but certainly felt its force as they were penned back in the second period.
The King Power has proved to be the perfect environment for Leicester City's Champions League adventure - and so it proved once more here.
Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare, speaking to BT Sport: "In the first half we played really well but the goal changes the game plan - we knew we had to score three - so I had to make the change.
"There's no discredit to lose to a team of that calibre.
"In terms of effort, commitment, application - as a group we were tremendous.
"The momentum was with us when Jamie [Vardy] scored but it just wasn't to be.
"I think the whole club, the supporters, owners and players, can be immensely proud of what they've achieved.
"I've just said to the players 'you should want more of this'."
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone: "I'm full of emotion and pride at the performance of my team.
"I also have to say, what a great performance from our opponents. It was almost a pleasure to compete against them."
Leicester return to Premier League action with an away game at Arsenal on Wednesday, 26 April, followed three days later with another away game at West Brom.
Atletico Madrid are also away from home in their next match - a trip to Espanyol in La Liga on Saturday (19:45 BST).

Adjusted for seasonal swings, the total fell by 41,023, or 0.8%, in December from the previous month, the first drop since July.
Spain now has 4.85 million jobless.
But across 2012, the number registered out of work was 10% higher than a year earlier.
"It is still a very dire situation as far as unemployment is concerned," said economist Gilles Moec from Deutsche Bank.
He described the situation as concerning, but said there had been some improvements which should help strengthen Spain's economy.
"The corporate sector in Spain has made tremendous efforts in boosting productivity," he said, pointing out that this can hit the numbers of people in work.
"There has been an improvement in competitiveness and a very strong export performance," he added.
In Germany, where two million fewer are unemployed, new figures showed the jobless rate was unchanged at 6.9% last month.
Germany's Federal Labour Agency said the seasonally-adjusted jobless rate was unchanged in December, having added 3,000 more unemployed people than the previous month.
The agency said that 2.94 million people were registered unemployed in Germany, Europe's biggest economy.
"Despite the economic dip the labour market is not suffering a breakdown," said Stefan Schilbe from HSBC Trinkaus.
"Companies are not willing to put qualified workers out of a job. Once the economy improves in the course of the year, unemployment too is likely to fall again with a delay."
Germany is the architect and chief backer of the eurozone's many bailouts as the region tries to extricate itself from a debt crisis.
Unlike most of its partners in the 17-nation eurozone, Germany has mainly escaped the worst effects of the crisis that has threatened to unravel the bloc.
But last month the central bank cut its growth forecast for 2013, saying the country's economy might be entering a recession.
Spain, the eurozone's fourth-biggest economy, said that, seasonally adjusted, the number of unemployed was up by 10.3% in 2012.
But Spain's Labour Ministry said it was the best performance in the month of December since existing records began in 1996, with young people, women and first-time workers doing particularly well.
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said on Tuesday he hoped for a return to job creation by the end of this year.
"I think 2013 will be better than 2012," Mr de Guindos told local radio. "The groundwork is being laid for us to begin to see positive employment growth rates in the fourth quarter of this year."
The whole 17-nation eurozone is in recession again - led by fast-shrinking economies such as Greece.
But Spain is also going through a long recession and has received a bailout for its banks from the eurozone's bailout fund. | The number of people registered unemployed in Spain fell in December, the Labour Ministry has said, a rare glimmer of hope for its recession-hit economy. |

Fuel duty has been held at 57.95p per litre since the March 2011 Budget, when it was cut by a penny.
Mr Osborne also froze duty on beer, cider and spirits, but raised taxes on tobacco products.
Fuel duty remains the biggest component of the price of diesel and petrol. Motorists also pay 20% value added tax on those fuels.
As of 14 March, the average price of petrol in the UK was 102.72p a litre and the price of diesel was 102.91p, according to the RAC Foundation.

The South African sides Cheetahs and Southern Kings will join the league after losing their Super Rugby status.
The six-year deal is likely to benefit the league to the tune of an extra £6m per season from the South African Rugby Union and additional television income.
All elements of the deal have been agreed and, once legally ratified, could be formally announced next week.
The new Pro14 league will kick-off in the first week of September and will comprise two conferences of seven teams. Each conference will have one Scottish side, one South African side, one Italian side and two each from Wales and Ireland.
The current preference is for two conferences of seven teams playing each other home and away. Within this format, the teams would also play one game against all the sides from the other conference, which would deliver 19 fixtures.
Additionally, each club would also play home and away derby fixtures as well, providing a total of 21 league games. However, other formats are also being discussed.
The winners of each conference will qualify automatically for the semi-finals, while the teams placed in second and third in each conference will be drawn together in play-offs for the remaining two semi-final places.
The Pro12 currently raises around £12m in television revenues, meaning the addition of the two South African sides represents a significant uplift as the Scottish, Irish and Welsh rugby unions try to bridge the financial gap to the English Premiership and French Top 14 teams.
The increase equates to around £500,000 in additional income per season for the existing Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Italian sides in the Pro12.
The Cheetahs and the Southern Kings are the weakest of South Africa's Super Rugby teams, and they were cut from next season's competition, opening the way for the move to join the Pro12.
One of the anticipated clauses for the deal is that the two franchises will commit to strengthening their squads, to ensure the competitive nature of the competition is protected.

It blamed Friday's raid, in which 208 people died, on the Murle community from neighbouring South Sudan.
The government said the army had killed 60 of those who carried out the attack.
The Murle have previously been accused of carrying out cattle raids and stealing children to raise as their own.
A mother whose husband was killed and three of her children abducted by the attackers told the BBC that she has no hope of seeing her children again.
"I don't know if they were killed during the crossfire," Chol Malual said. "The fighting was intense and if they survived, they will be probably be killed by the Murles."
Meanwhile, additional medical personnel have been sent from the capital Addis Ababa to help treat dozens of people who were injured during the attack.
"We have treated 82 patients," a medic in the Gambella region told the BBC, "most suffering from bullet wounds to the chest, abdomen or head.
"We feel insecure here and would like the government to deploy security guards in the more dangerous areas."
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said in an address to the nation on Sunday that Ethiopia was seeking permission to cross the border for a joint military operation with South Sudan.
Mr Hailemariam said neither South Sudan's army nor rebel forces were involved in Friday's attack.
The prime minister added that "primitive and destructive forces kill people here at various times by moving from place to place".

There is no deal done yet but it is understood joining the Hammers is a possibility for Hart, who has no future at City under manager Pep Guardiola.
Hart was on loan at Torino in Italy last season but has returned to City, where he has a contract until 2019.
Conversations have also taken place between the 30-year-old's representatives and Manchester United.
While United boss Jose Mourinho is an admirer of Hart, who has 71 international caps, the clear preference at Old Trafford is to keep David de Gea, which they expect to do.
The signing of Ederson Moraes for £35m from Benfica underlined Guardiola's view of Hart.
City are only thought to be interested in a permanent transfer.
They leave for a three-match tour of the United States on 17 July.
Italian football journalist Mina Rzouki speaking to BBC Radio 5 live:
He made a lot of mistakes at Torino. I'm not saying he's a bad goalkeeper, sometimes he really pulls it out, and what was great for him at Torino was everyone loved him.
He was the one that commanded the headlines. Everyone wanted to read about him, everyone wanted to talk about him because he was the English captain and everyone wanted to look at him like this beacon that came to Torino and chose Serie A over everyone else.
But let's be honest, he's not of that calibre. He is a Torino-style goalkeeper rather than Manchester City any more.
So, all in all, he is only what I would say is mediocre in Serie A, which is littered with good goalkeepers and good defenders. | West Ham are interested in signing Manchester City's out-of-favour England goalkeeper Joe Hart. |

Sandra Spiers was discovered by police with her hands in front of her as if she was gripping a steering wheel.
The 44-year-old was banned from driving for a year and fined £300.
Spiers, from Boness, admitted driving on the A85 Perth to Crieff road on 13 April last year while unfit through drugs.
Depute fiscal Craig Donald told Perth Sheriff Court that police officers on patrol saw Spiers at about 21:50.
Mr Donald said: "They spotted the accused sitting on the pavement with her hands in the driving position.
"When she was spoken to by the officers she appeared to be under the influence of a substance as she was not making eye contact and was falling asleep.
"She was asked to identify the driver of the vehicle which was situated nearby.
"She replied it was her and then provided a negative alcohol blood sample at the roadside."
After being taken into custody, Spiers was examined by a police doctor, who formed the opinion that she was under the influence of a substance.
Mr Donald said: "It is accepted on behalf of the Crown that the medication the accused was under the influence of was prescription, rather than any illicit medication."
Kirsty Lumsden, defending, said her client had been taking medication after the death of a close family member about four weeks before the incident.
"It is accepted that unfortunately, on the day in question, she was sleep deprived and through her grief had not eaten properly or perhaps not taken enough fluids to hydrate herself," Ms Lumsden said.

Connor Owens, 19, from Liverpool, was found with crack cocaine and heroin in a Kendal hotel.
Appearing at Carlisle Crown Court, he admitted conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
Cumbria Police said his phone showed he made the 160-mile round trip to Kendal almost daily for three weeks in April.
A spokesman said the force believed each trip was made to sell drugs there.
Owens, of Windsor Road, was found with 100 wraps of crack cocaine and scores of single heroin deals with a street value of £1,740.
Officers also found almost £700 in his jacket and a mobile phone used to send group texts advertising his wares.

Russians are banned from competing by the IAAF because of widespread state-sponsored doping in their country.
Now it has issued guidelines to Russian athletes, spelling out what they need to do before they can compete again.
A recent report said more than 1,000 Russians, including Olympic medallists, benefited from a doping programme.
"Russian athletes have been let down by a system that should have protected them," said Lord Coe, chairman of the International Association of Athletics Federations.
The IAAF banned Russian athletes from competition in 2015 in response to allegations of state-sponsored doping. Before last summer's Olympic Games in Rio, the governing body outlined "strict criteria" any Russian athletes must meet if they wanted to take part in the Games.
Only one athlete was able to meet the criteria - US-based long-jumper Darya Klishina, who entered as a neutral.
Those guidelines have now been updated and sent to Russia's athletics federation. They say Russian athletes wanting to compete need to prove they have never been implicated "by their national federation's failure to put in place adequate systems to protect and promote clean athletes".
It also points out any athletes cleared to compete will only be allowed to take part under a neutral flag.
The updated criteria also asks Russian athletes to show:
The IAAF said applications would be reviewed by its Doping Review Board (DRB), who will decide whether applicants will be granted neutral athlete status.
Last month, the IAAF decided to extend Russia's ban - which was first announced in November 2015 - meaning the country will miss March's European Indoors in Belgrade, Serbia.

Hatton accidentally nudged his ball on the green and did not replace it.
He had narrowly missed his birdie chance on the first extra hole and went to tap in, but the ball moved slightly forward when he placed his putter down.
Under a local rule, such accidental movement is no longer a penalty provided the player replaces his ball.
Compatriots Paul Casey and Ross Fisher fared better, and are both through to the last 16.
Full results
Hatton's defeat by Rafa Cabrera-Bello in the final round of group matches meant the pair went into a play-off with Charles Howell to determine who would advance to the last 16 at Austin Country Club, Texas.
Cabrera-Bello and Howell resumed the play-off without him. Howell went on to secure victory at the fifth extra hole and set up a clash with Spain's Jon Rahm.
"I'm only human, I'm going to make mistakes as I've done today," said Hatton, who secured his first victory on the European Tour at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews in October 2016.
Rules official Steve Carmen told the Golf Channel: "What happened was he placed his putter behind the ball and caused the ball to move and then he putted from the new position.
"We have a local rule in effect that if it's an accidental movement on the putting green you can replace the ball but he didn't replace the ball so he's played from the wrong place, and there's a two-shot penalty."

The Woldgate Woods landscape depicts trees near Bridlington, East Yorkshire. The piece, measuring 10.5ft (3m) wide, is made up of six individual canvases.
Auctioneers Sotheby's said the sale had set a new record for the artist, breaking his previous auction record of $7.9m (£6.3m), set in 2009.
The work had a guide price of between $9m and $12m.
Grégoire Billault, head of contemporary art at Sotheby's, said: "David Hockney stands alongside Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud as one of the pillars of post-war British art."
Hockney, who was born in Bradford, started painting the scenes at Woldgate, a Roman Road between Bridlington and Kilham, and Warter 10 years ago.
His method of connecting multiple canvases to create one huge piece of artwork was devised because he was not able to fit the large-scale painting up the stairs of his Bridlington studio, Sotheby's said.
The picture of Woldgate Woods was included in a Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy in London in 2012.

Twenty-three-year-old Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline in Fife, vanished while on a night out with friends on 24 September in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
A bin lorry made a collection in the area just after the last sighting.
Mr Mckeague's mother Nicola Urquhart welcomed the decision of Suffolk Police to search the landfill site in Milton.
The bin lorry's route to the site appeared to coincide with the movements of her son's phone.
Mrs Urquhart told the BBC: "Commonsense suggests that the most likely place Corrie ended up is the landfill site or the incinerator."
Suffolk Police said the preparatory work at the landfill site at Milton, Cambridgeshire, was going to take longer than previously expected.
Some 8,000 tonnes of bulk material need to be removed to allow safe access to where the search needs to take place.
Mrs Urquhart said she was hoping a deadline of Saturday at 17:00 GMT for a £50,000 reward would encourage someone to come forward with information about what happened.
"If Corrie is in the landfill site they will still get the reward if they can tell me how he ended up there," she said.
She added she would be joining members of the Suffolk lowland search and rescue (SULSAR) and other local groups to also search areas of land near Bury St Edmunds.

Blaenau Gwent and other parts of the south Wales valleys were singled out by research into official government questions on 'wellbeing'.
Analysts found Blaenau Gwent had one of the biggest overall differences between those who are content and unhappy - a term dubbed 'wellbeing inequality'.
Researchers hope the findings can help steer government policy in the future.
"These findings show us that what matters to people is more complex than most policymakers realise, or measure," said Nancy Hey, director of the What Works Centre for Wellbeing, who carried out the study.
"Income alone only tells us part of the story about how we may be struggling, or thriving, in our daily lives.
"Wellbeing gives us a more nuanced picture, and allows us to see why and how different groups in society are affected in different ways.
"The evidence shows us that large differences in wellbeing is not inevitable. We are going to be looking for more clues as to what local authorities can do to understand and reduce the gap in upcoming research."
The parts of Wales ranked highest for wellbeing equality - where the gap between those happy and unhappy is smaller - were places like Flintshire, Gwynedd, Denbighshire and Monmouthshire.
But those with a wider inequality gap included Torfaen, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot - and Blaenau Gwent.
Across the UK - the wellbeing gap was smaller in places like Enfield and Harrow in London, Cheshire, Warwickshire, and Shetland - and wider in locations such as Liverpool, Sunderland and Rotherham.
The research looked at a series of questions asked to 160,000 people across the UK by the Office for National Statistics.
The questions were:
The questions were given a score out of ten, depending on how people felt, giving an overall wellbeing score. It meant researchers could then look at how big the gap was between the 'happiest' and 'least happy' in every individual local authority.
Researchers said the analysis might be a useful tool in the future too - after using the details to see if there was any relationship in feelings on wellbeing and those areas that voted Leave in the Brexit referendum.
The study discovered that while the average wellbeing of any area did not appear to have any connection to the way that authority's area voted - the measure of wellbeing inequality did.
Simply put - council areas like Blaenau Gwent with the widest gap between those satisfied and those who are not - voted to leave the EU.

Colin Campbell, from Inverness, has primary progressive multiple sclerosis and told BBC Scotland in April that his health had rapidly deteriorated.
However, a new friendship with another MS patient, Rona Tynan, has led to securing a care package and new accommodation in central Scotland.
Ms Tynan said the friendship inspired her to find a new course of treatment.
Ahead of leaving Inverness to move into his new home, Mr Campbell told BBC Scotland he was living "bonus time" after deferring his 15 June booking at a clinic in Basel.
The 56-year-old, who has been living in a flat, said: "For me the priority was ground-floor accommodation.
"I have also had the good fortune of meeting ex-Metropolitan Police officer Rona whose intervention in my plans to end my life put that on hold.
"She gave me a good reason why I should delay my plans."
Mr Campbell said instead of seeking help he had "become self obsessed and resigned to his life not being easy".

Dr Adam Osborne, who was married at the time, told her exposing the two-year affair would "destroy" his family, a disciplinary panel was told.
He made threats towards the woman, asking her to retract her complaint to the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Osborne, brother of Chancellor George Osborne, was not at the hearing.
He treated the woman, referred to as Patient A, for depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue at a private practice in London, between 2011 and 2014.
She also had problems with substance abuse and self-harm.
Dr Osborne ended the relationship in February last year during an email exchange, the tribunal heard.
Two days later, Patient A, who is no longer living in the UK, was admitted to hospital after taking an overdose - hours after sending an email about the affair to psychiatrist Dr Neil Boast, who had temporarily been Dr Osborne's supervisor.
Following complaints to the GMC by Dr Boast and Patient A, Dr Osborne sent a "number of inappropriate emails" to his former lover between 14 February and 24 February, requesting that she withdraw the complaint.
One email said: "Please don't do this to me, it will destroy me and my family in public."
Representing the GMC, Bernadette Baxter said: "Patient A said on a number of occasions she wanted him to stop contacting her."
The emails "became more imploring" and Dr Osborne was "highly manipulative" in preying on the woman's vulnerabilities.
"He sees himself very much as a victim," she said.
"Then there are emails where the mood very much changed and spills into the territory where he makes threats towards Patient A."
Ms Baxter also outlined how Dr Osborne's emails suggested there would be consequences for her family and argued that Patient A had in fact seduced him.
The tribunal, which will judge whether the psychiatrist's fitness to practise is impaired by reason of misconduct, was told that there had also been contact between Patient A and Dr Osborne's wife.
Julian Woodbridge, who is representing the psychiatrist, said his client had been on sick leave.
Reading a letter to the tribunal, he said Dr Osborne apologised for being in a relationship with Patient A and sending "inappropriate emails in a moment of panic".
In 2010, the psychiatrist was suspended from practising medicine for six months after writing fraudulent prescriptions for a girlfriend, a family member and an escort, while he was a trainee at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester.
As a result, the GMC tribunal said the misconduct, which related to incidents between 2006 and 2008, impaired his fitness to practise.
It found he had "behaved dishonestly" after attempting to obtain anti-psychotic medication for a cocaine addict he had been seeing while his partner was away.
The current tribunal will resume on Wednesday. | A psychiatrist begged a vulnerable patient not to report him to a medical watchdog after he ended their affair, a tribunal has heard. |

Lebanese security sources said the clashes took place on Lebanon's side of the border, near the town of Baalbek.
Hezbollah is fighting alongside the army in Syria, but the clashes have rarely crossed onto Lebanese soil.
Meanwhile the Red Cross has said it is alarmed by the worsening situation in the besieged Syrian town of Qusair.
It has appealed for access to the town, which lies just 10km (6 miles) over the Lebanese border.
Thousands of civilians are believed to be trapped as pro-government forces - including Hezbollah fighters - battle rebels.
The office of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also appealed to the warring parties to allow residents to flee.
Mr Ban telephoned Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem to share his concerns, but was told the Red Cross would be allowed in "as soon as military operations are over", Reuters reports.
Mr Moualem reportedly expressed his surprise at the level of concern over Qusair, saying there had been none when rebels took over the town last year.
Also on Sunday, a car bomb killed nine members of the Syrian security forces in the capital, Damascus, according to the British-based pro-opposition watchdog the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The watchdog said the bomb had targeted a police station in the eastern district of Jobar, which has seen renewed clashes between government forces and rebels who are entrenched there.
Casualty reports from the Baalbek clashes, just over the border from Syria, have not been independently verified, but Reuters news agency quoted a Lebanese security source on Sunday as saying that at least 15 people were killed.
There were reports that at least one Hezbollah fighter was among the dead.
Lebanese media quoted officials as saying the rebels had been preparing to launch rockets when the clashes broke out.
The Syrian rebels have threatened Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in revenge for its backing of the government in Damascus, and have frequently fired rockets into Lebanon, including several on Saturday.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says the reported clashes are another a symptom of the possible dangerous spread of the Syria conflict.
Hezbollah, a Shia movement, has stirred up sectarian feelings in Lebanon by giving support to the Syrian government.
In addition, some Lebanese Sunnis have also crossed into Syria to fight alongside the rebels, who are drawn largely from Syria's majority Sunni community, meaning Lebanon's domestic conflict has effectively drifted over into Syria, says our correspondent.
Hezbollah fighters are also involved in the siege of Qusair, which is considered a key logistical hub and supply route for weapons smuggled into Syria.
An opposition activist told the BBC on Friday that around 30,000 civilians were still in the town, effectively under blockade.
The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says the fact that both the UN and ICRC have issued urgent statements on Qusair at the same time is an indication of how desperate they believe the situation there has become.
Qusair's importance
The UN Security Council attempted to issue a declaration voicing "grave concern" about Qusair, but it was blocked by Russia so failed to obtain the necessary unanimous agreement of council members.
A diplomat said Russia blocked the draft text because the UN had failed to speak out when Qusair was seized by rebels.
Fighting in Qusair intensified last month with militants from Hezbollah joining forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Reinforcements from the rebel Free Syrian Army are reported to have managed to break through from the north-east to support the embattled rebel fighters.
Activists from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say rebels in Qusair are bracing themselves for another assault.
Fifteen Syrian army tanks have massed north of the town, says Rami Abdel Rahman, the observatory's director.
"Regime forces are reinforcing the sites that they have north of the city, including Dabaa airport and Jawadiya," he said.
The UN estimates that than 80,000 people have been killed and 1.5 million have fled Syria since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011. | A number of people have been killed in an exchange of fire between Syrian rebels and fighters from the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, say reports. |

"When I go forward and try to attack, I normally look to make an assist. This time I went on the run and shot for goal," Pinto told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"In this league, you don't know what could happen, it's hard. But when you score the third one, it's the end of the game and I think that's very good for us."
Although Norwich came away with three points, they had to battle against a stubborn Burton side.
"We didn't have the best day, but in the end we did enough to take the three points," Pinto said.
"If we're not having a good day, we still have players in the squad that can make a difference."
Norwich are next in action on Wednesday when they travel to Newcastle United - both teams having been relegated from the Premier League last season.
"When you keep winning games, you're just waiting for the next one to come," he added.
"It'll be a big game for us against Newcastle, but if we have a better day and keep doing our jobs, I think we can win the game." | Norwich defender Ivo Pinto said his first goal for the club was a thank you from him to their "amazing" fans. |

Former cabinet ministers including Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham defended Labour's fiscal record and spending on schools and hospitals.
However, candidates from the 2010 intake of MPs argued that the party spent too much while in office.
The debate followed Chuka Umunna's withdrawal from the leadership contest.
The remaining candidates appeared at the annual conference of the Progress think tank in London.
There was agreement that Labour needed to demonstrate economic credibility to regain power, with shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt telling the meeting that the party needed to be "trusted with public finances and the family finances".
Mr Hunt, who was first elected to Parliament in 2010 when Labour lost power, argued the last Labour government "spent too much" and failed to "leave enough economic headroom to deal with the economic crisis and the recession".
Shadow health minister Liz Kendall said: "There's absolutely nothing progressive about spending more on debt interest payments than on educating our children."
But shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said: "The Tories have had a triumph of spin over the facts in saying what they said about the economic record of the last Labour government."
The former chief secretary to the Treasury said the deficit did "grow too large" in the government's later years but insisted: "The last Labour government ran more surpluses in its first term than the Tories did in 18 years."
Yvette Cooper, another former chief secretary to the Treasury, said: "We should never let anybody tell us that it was too many teachers, doctors or nurses that caused Lehman Brothers bank in New York to crash."
Shadow international development secretary Mary Creagh said: "People have forgotten the economic credibility that the last Labour government had."
She said Labour had built schools and hospitals that were "treasured in our communities".
Ms Cooper, Mr Burnham, Ms Kendall and Ms Creagh have declared their intention to run for leader, while Mr Hunt told the conference he would make an announcement next week.
At the same event, shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint announced she would be running for deputy leader.
The Don Valley MP told the Today programme ahead of the debate that Labour lost the election because "fundamentally the public did not trust us on the economy".
Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw has already announced a bid to be deputy, saying Labour "must and could win the next election", but only if it "broadens its appeal by adopting sensible, centre-left politics which celebrate wealth creation and entrepreneurship".
Former Labour campaign co-ordinator Tom Watson is reported to be crowd-funding a deputy leadership bid, while Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy has said she is "open to the question" of running.
Barnsley East MP and shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher - a fierce critic of Ed Miliband's election campaign - is to run Mr Burnham's campaign, according to the website LabourList.
It is reported that Mr Burnham also has the backing of Labour peer Lord Falconer, who was lord chancellor and justice secretary under Tony Blair and was close to the former PM.
Shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant has signalled his backing for Ms Cooper, tweeting that the next leader must be "someone who's been tried in the fiery furnace of public opinion".
Mr Hunt said on Friday he would be be attending the debate - along with the other four hopefuls - to "set out my analysis on how we begin to understand what went so wrong and why".
He added: "We must use this leadership election to ask some very profound questions.
"All voices in the party must be heard so that we can have a full and proper assessment as to why the politics of nationalism triumphed in Scotland and huge swathes of England, and how we have allowed the Conservative Party to present a more compelling vision for Britain to so many millions of people."
Speculation still surrounds shadow business secretary Mr Umunna's decision to pull out on Friday, when he said he was not "comfortable" with the "pressure" of being a candidate.
As well as citing extensive pressure and scrutiny Mr Umunna also said he was ruling himself out because of concerns about the impact of the bid on his family.
A rising star of the party, Mr Umunna was first elected to Parliament in 2010 - alongside Tristram Hunt and Liz Kendall - before joining the shadow cabinet.
Asked about the candidate who might win, Conservative Chancellor George Osborne said: "The Labour leadership contest has descended into farce.
"But it's not actually about personalities. I don't think the Labour Party any more represents the working people of this country who aspire to a better life." | Prospective Labour leaders have clashed over Labour's record in government in their first public debate in the race to succeed Ed Miliband. |

The former Gloucestershire captain fractured his left index finger during fielding practice prior to Worcestershire's game against Durham at Chester-le-Street last September.
It was expected that the injury would heal without any need for an operation.
A later x-ray revealed slight damage to the cartilage in the joint, forcing him to undergo delayed surgery in December.
But the finger failed to respond to the insertion of a plastic joint replacement and, following consultation with a specialist, Gidman has been forced to retire, with a year remaining on the two-year contract he signed when he arrived at New Road from Gloucestershire in September 2014.
"It is with great sadness that I have no choice but to retire from the sport that has given me so much," said Gidman, who made 11,622 first-class runs, as well as nearly 6,000 in limited-over cricket.
"I have been really lucky to have played for so long and I have so many great memories. Obviously my many years with Gloucestershire included the majority of my success but I've really enjoyed the last 18 months, meeting some fantastic people at Worcester."
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes added: "It's a very sad day. We're extremely disappointed for Alex. It was a freak injury."
High Wycombe-born Alex Gidman made the vast majority (187) of his 204 first-class appearances with Gloucestershire, with whom he spent 13 seasons.
He played in both their two successive Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy Lord's final victories (both over Worcestershire) in 2003 and 2004.
He was Gloucestershire captain from 2009 to 2012, which was also his benefit year. But he struggled when he came to New Road last season, making just 440 runs in 13 games at 24.44. | Worcestershire batsman Alex Gidman has been forced to retire from cricket at the age of 34, because of injury. |

The bill aims to revoke parts of the UK government's 2016 Trade Union Act.
It would mean current restrictions on industrial action in the NHS, the fire service, schools and other devolved services in Wales would change.
UK ministers say industrial relations are a matter for Westminster.
A key element of the UK government's law is to only allow strikes backed by 40% of a union's members in a ballot.
But members of the Welsh Assembly's Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee agreed the new legislation was needed to maintain Wales' "social-partnership" approach.
In March, Welsh Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said it would be a "democratic outrage" if ministers in London tried to block the Welsh Trade Union Bill.
The Labour Welsh Government argues UK ministers should not impose restrictions on union activity in Wales in devolved services, such as the NHS and schools.
The committee report was not supported by one of its eight members as Conservative AM Janet Finch-Saunders did not agree with its conclusions.
Committee chair John Griffiths said: "While the partnership approach is not without its tensions and difficulties, it seems to be serving Wales well.
"Industrial action across the UK is at its lowest for years and strikes have been less prevalent in Wales than in England in recent years."
He added: "It is clear to us that the success of the social partnership is dependent on equality between partners and that the relevant provisions in the 2016 act are likely, to varying degrees, to affect this.
"In view of the above, we support the general principles of the bill and agree that it is needed to disapply the relevant provisions of the 2016 act."
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has said the Wales Act 2017, which received Royal Assent in January, "puts beyond doubt that this policy area is not devolved".
UK ministers, he said, would "act at the earliest opportunity" to "protect the interest of taxpayers and our public services in Wales". | Rules making it harder for strike action in public services could be changed in Wales after a cross-party group of AMs backed a new law. |

The lifetime ban on visas would apply even to those travelling as tourists, for business, or who married an Australian.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the move would send "the strongest possible signal" to people-smugglers.
The proposed ban is to be put to parliament later this week.
Australia transports asylum seekers who arrive by boat to off-shore processing centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.
Even if found to be genuine refugees, they are already blocked from being resettled in Australia. They can either return home, be resettled on Manus or Nauru, or go to a third country.
The new legislation would apply to all those sent to Nauru and Manus from 19 July 2013, including those who have returned home, and anyone who arrives in the future. Children, however, would be exempt.
"This is a battle of will between the Australian people, represented by its government, and the criminal gangs of people-smugglers," Mr Turnbull said.
"You should not underestimate the scale of the threat. These people-smugglers are the worst criminals imaginable. They have a multibillion-dollar business. We have to be very determined to say no to their criminal plans."
He added: "If they seek to bring people to Australia those passengers will never settle in this country."
The law will directly affect about 3,000 adult refugees being housed on Manus, Nauru or in Australia undergoing medical treatment.
Australia's Labor opposition says it is yet to decide whether to back the new law.
Australia has been repeatedly criticised for its tough policy on refugees and asylum seekers.
Earlier this month, a report by Amnesty International compared its camp on Nauru to an open-air prison.
Mr Turnbull dismissed the report's findings as "absolutely false".

Hamilton started 10th after an engine failure in qualifying but after repairs he drove a superlative race to limit the damage to his title hopes.
But Rosberg's victory extended his championship lead to 43 points.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel crashed out on the first lap after being hit twice by Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat.
Listen back to the frantic opening lap
Hamilton fears more engine trouble
Hamilton closed dramatically on Rosberg in the mid-part of the race but had to back off to protect his engine.
Hamilton had dispatched Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen with a dive down the inside into Turn Five on lap seven and, after passing Williams driver Valtteri Bottas to take second on lap 19, he began to claw back Rosberg's advantage.
First it was by small margins, but in six laps from lap 30 he reduced it from 12.1 seconds to 7.5.
As Hamilton began to close, Mercedes said the speed differential was down to Rosberg being in traffic. But he continued to close over a number of laps once the German was in clear air until being told that the engine had a water-pressure issue.
Hamilton immediately backed off, the problem stabilising after a handful of laps.
The Briton cruised to finish in second, watched by the late-arriving Russian President Vladimir Putin, comfortably able to hold off Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.
The Finn took the final podium position, passing Bottas after stopping for fresh tyres four laps later.
Listen: 'The disappointment is getting to Hamilton'
Raikkonen's team-mate Vettel was taken out by two separate clashes with Kvyat on the first lap.
The two had argued publicly after the previous race in China, when Vettel felt Kvyat's dive down the inside at Turn One had been too aggressive and had precipitated a collision between the two Ferraris.
Most observers felt Vettel's criticisms in Shanghai were unfair, but there was no doubt Kvyat was in the wrong in Sochi.
He rammed Vettel's car up the rear at the second corner, and then again at the third, forcing Vettel into a spin into the barriers. Kvyat was given a 10-second stop-go penalty for his errors.
Vettel spat expletives over the team radio before getting out of his car and riding a scooter back to the pits to make his feelings clear to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
But when talking to reporters, Vettel's phlegmatic mood was in contrast to his anger after China. "These things happen obviously but it's harsh. The race is very long; you can make progress on the first lap but you can also end your race.
"It was not my fault - there was nothing I would do differently.
"I don't dislike [Kvyat]. I think he did a mistake two weeks ago and I think he did a mistake today."
Bottas took fourth, ahead of team-mate Felipe Massa and the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, scoring the team's best result of the year by far in sixth.
Alonso's result was based on a brilliant first lap, in which he rose from 14th on the grid to seventh.
Team-mate Jenson Button went the opposite way on the first lap, dropping to 15th after being held up by Vettel's crash, and could only take 10th, taking the final point by pressuring Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz into a mistake with four laps to go.
Behind Alonso, Kevin Magnussen was a highly impressive seventh for struggling Renault, ahead of Haas' Romain Grosjean and Force India's Sergio Perez, who recovered well from a first-lap puncture.
Hamilton, who was up to fifth on the first lap after threading his way through chaos at the first corner, said: "There wasn't a doubt in my mind I could win it. I had the pace, but then I had the problem with the engine again and I had to back off."
"We had a rough seas. No simple plain sailing," Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said. "Lewis had a worry, we had a water leak, and we just needed to bring the car home.
"And we also had a problem on the engine on Nico's car as well, where it was giving strange signals from the power-unit."
That will be a concern for Mercedes, following the consecutive engine problems Hamilton had during qualifying at the last two races.

Brent crude, used as an international benchmark, fell as low as $29.96, but bounced back to trade at $30.22.
Oil prices have fallen by 70% in the past 15 months.
Earlier, Russia's Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, warned tumbling oil prices could force his country to revise its 2016 budget.
He said that the country must be prepared for a "worst-case" economic scenario if the price continued to fall.
Taxes from oil and gas generates about half the Russian government's revenue.
The 2016 federal budget that was approved in October was based on an oil price of $50 a barrel in 2016 - a figure President Vladimir Putin has since described as "unrealistic".
Government departments have been ordered to cut spending by 10%, repeating a policy imposed in 2015, Reuters reported.
Pensions and pay for government workers will be protected from the cuts, which could save as much as 700bn roubles (£6.3bn; $9.1bn).
Finance minister Anton Siluanov said that the Russian budget could only be balanced at an oil price of $82 a barrel.
He said the 2016 budget should be revised to assume an oil price of $40 a barrel.
"Our task is to adapt our budget to the new realities," Mr Siluanov said.
Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev warned that Russia faced a long period of low commodity prices with oil at $15 or $20 a barrel.
"The biggest risk is that there will be low prices for a long time - that is, for years, for decades," he said.
Mr Medvedev also said that high interests rates were holding back economic growth in Russia.
The Bank of Russia held rates at 11% last month, with governor Elvira Nabiullina warning of "high volatility" in global markets.
A year ago the central bank shocked markets by increasing rates from 10.5% to 17%.

Augmented reality glasses overlay computer-generated images on the wearer's real-world surroundings, unlike virtual reality which replaces the entire field of vision with images.
One expert said augmented reality devices were still at an "experimental" stage.
"I don't expect Hololens to be a mass market product due to its pricing," said Piers Harding-Rolls of IHS Technology.
"Like the early VR headsets, this will appeal to technology enthusiasts with large amounts of disposable income.
"But I think we're a good few years away from compelling consumer AR smart glasses which have the desirable content and are cheap enough to drive a broader interest in the technology."
Microsoft has stressed its developers' edition of Hololens is designed for app creators, to encourage the production of software for the device before it is more widely available.
The company said consumer availability would follow "further down the line".
It also detailed the first seven native programs available for Hololens.
Among them are:
The device will also run a game called Young Conker - a spin-off of cult hit Conker's Bad Fur Day, which told the story of a foul-mouthed squirrel trying to get home to his girlfriend.
A video of Young Conker has been negatively received by fans of the original game, who have eagerly been awaiting a sequel aimed at mature audiences.
"Why would you ever do this? This is by far the worst thing that could possibly happen to the Conker franchise," commented one disappointed gamer on YouTube.
Microsoft said it had chosen Conker because he was "the right size to believably show up in the player's world" and was "famous for breaking the fourth wall and talking directly to the player".
Absent from the list of launch apps was Minecraft, the hugely popular building game, which had featured heavily in Hololens demonstrations and previews.
Microsoft says Hololens will run as a fully self-contained device running Windows 10, powered by an Intel chip.
The company says it has developed a unique "holographic processing unit" that can map the wearer's environment and recognise gestures while rendering images at the same time.
Gestures, glance and control allow the wearer to interact with the software, and the helmet supports Bluetooth accessories - the first of which is a "clicker" button users can hold.
"I think Hololens has the potential to find traction in niche commercial applications where pricing is less of an issue," said Mr Harding-Rolls.
"I see consumer AR as more embryonic than VR and still very much at an experimental stage." | Microsoft has started taking orders for a developers' edition of its Hololens augmented reality headset. |

Scientists say a pill called Vemurafenib appears to give patients a greater chance of surviving longer than chemotherapy.
It was tested on a group of 675 patients with advanced melanoma.
Another drug, taken intravenously, called Ipilimumab, is said to give patients extra years of life.
The results were presented at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
During a trial, 84% of patients who took Vemurafenib pills twice a day were still alive six months later. This compares with 64% of those on standard chemotherapy.
The drug works by acting on a faulty gene, BRAF, found in half of terminally ill patients whose cancer has spread to other organs.
The results were so impressive that the British experts running the trial stopped it early so they could switch all patients in the group over to Vemurafenib.
And trials showed the drug reduced the risk of the disease worsening by 74%, compared with chemotherapy.
Meanwhile, trial results from another study show that a one-course infusion treatment of Ipilimumab may extend the survival of patients with advanced melanoma.
Several patients have lived for years when they might otherwise have died in weeks or months, say investigators. At least one is still alive five years after receiving the treatment.
Research is now being conducted to find out whether Vemurafenib could be used for other cancers, including ovarian, thyroid and bowel cancer.
Both treatments are now being assessed by European licensing bodies and could become available to UK patients within months, subject to approval.
Although it is unclear if the NHS would be able to afford to use these relatively expensive drugs that cost tens of thousands of pounds.
Professor Richard Marais, whose work at the Institute of Cancer Research demonstrated the importance of BRAF in melanoma, said: "This is the biggest breakthrough in melanoma treatment in more than 30 years.
"The results demonstrate for the first time that a targeted therapy can work in melanoma and will change our approach to treating this disease. It is an enormous advance in the field."
Professor Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, said: "For the first time, we have effective treatments becoming available for melanoma.
"Both show how the research we have been doing is feeding through into help for patients.
"It is a first step but a vitally important one, and it encourages us to redouble our efforts for people with this most dangerous type of skin cancer."
Malignant melanoma kills more than 2,000 people in the UK each year, and more than 11,000 people annually develop the disease. | Patients with advanced skin cancer could benefit from two new treatments that extend life, a cancer meeting in Chicago has heard. |

Summarize the following article:
A study published by the Fabian Society has looked at how many seats Labour could lose at a general election if it performed in line with recent opinion polls which have put it as low as 24%, compared with 31% at the general election. The analysis suggested a loss of around 40 seats compared with 2015, when it won 232.
The calculation assumes a uniform swing across all constituencies in Britain.
If the study had included the most up-to-date polls, the figure would have been a little bit lower - perhaps around 25 to 30 Labour losses.
Either way, one interesting question is why the number isn't higher.
Len McCluskey, head of the Unite union and one of Jeremy Corbyn's strongest backers, says the current performance is "awful".
Yet the figures suggest that despite the current low standing, a large majority of Labour MPs would be re-elected.
That's because a lot of them are in safe seats.
An interesting feature of recent British electoral politics is that the number of safe seats has increased whereas the number of marginal seats has fallen.
It's interesting to compare the 2015 election with 1992, the last time the Conservatives won an overall majority.
In 1992, 169 of the seats in Great Britain were won with majorities under 10% - a common definition of a marginal seat. In 2015, that number was just 119. And only 49 of those were won by Labour.
On the other hand, the number of very safe seats has increased. In 1992, there were 155 seats won with majorities above 30%. In 2015, there were 223.
The electorate has become more geographically polarised.
A further interesting quirk of British elections is that the extremely safe seats in the country tend to be Labour seats, even when it loses the national vote.
The 11 safest seats in the country are all Labour - as are 17 of the safest 20.
That doesn't mean those constituencies could never elect an MP from another party. In 2015, Labour lost some very safe seats in Scotland as a result of the SNP landslide. But it does mean that for many Labour MPs, even the current polls shouldn't cause them too many worries about their own futures.
This trend became even more acute in 2015.
The Conservatives pulled off their surprise victory by winning votes just where they needed them, such as in Liberal Democrat-held seats in the south west of England - which is now almost entirely blue.
Meanwhile in safe Tory seats, they gained few votes.
On the other hand, Labour piled up lots of extra votes in seats it already held comfortably.
So nationally their vote share went up even as they lost seats overall.
In the political science jargon, the Conservative vote has become more "efficient", with fewer votes wasted, while Labour's is more inefficient.
So Labour could lose quite a lot of those votes without seeing a particularly dramatic reduction in its number of seats.
The flipside of this for Labour is that fewer marginal seats also means the swing it would need to win an overall majority of its own is much higher than it would have been in the past.
Analysis by polling expert John Curtice suggests that Labour needs a national swing of nearly 10% to win a majority.
Swings of that size don't come around very often. Tony Blair managed it in 1997 as did Clement Attlee in 1945, albeit in unusual circumstances.
And the mountain will be even higher for Labour if and when the proposed boundary changes are implemented. | Labour's opinion poll rating is at its lowest since 1983 but that doesn't mean it's on course to lose most of its seats. |

Bjoern Hoecke, who heads Alternative for Germany in the eastern state of Thuringia, is notorious for incendiary remarks on refugees and race.
He told supporters that Germans were the "only people in the world who planted a memorial of disgrace in the heart of their capital".
One politician accused him of incitement.
Ralf Stegner, a leading figure in the centre-left Social Democrats, tweeted: "Hoecke gives inflammatory speech, wants to rewrite history". Mr Stegner then demanded "no influence for the Neo-nazi mob!"
Thuringia's state Prime Minister, Bodo Ramelow, said it was not the first time the AfD leader had used "Nazi language".
The AfD started out as a Eurosceptic party but has quickly moved to the right and made rapid strides in regional elections in Germany. Its national leader, Frauke Petry, said last year that police should shoot at migrants entering the country illegally.
The party is expected to pick up seats in federal elections, which will take place on 24 September. Latest opinion polls suggest the AfD attracts at least 11% support among German voters.
Some 200 protesters gathered outside the hall in Dresden where the AfD leader was speaking to party supporters on Tuesday night.
He was given a standing ovation as he began his address and was applauded when he targeted the memorial of 2,711 stone slabs, which opened in 2005 and commemorates the six million Jews of Europe murdered by the Nazi regime.
He spoke of the German state of mind until now as of a "brutally defeated people" and Germany needed a "180-degree turn'' when remembering its past.
Instead of teaching Germany's schoolchildren about the country's world-renowned philosophers, musicians and inventors, of which he suggested Germany had more than any other people, German history was being made "lousy and ridiculous", he complained.
To audience chants of "Merkel must go!" he likened the German chancellor to East Germany's Communist leader Erich Honecker, who was forced to resign by his party shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Green party chairman Simone Peter condemned his speech as "unspeakable". "The AfD must unequivocally distance itself from this and apologise to our Jewish friends."
The chairman of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, said that the party had "shown its true face with these anti-Semitic and utterly inhuman words".
Some politicians pointed out that the AfD leader had given his speech hours after Germany's Constitutional Court decided against imposing a ban on the far-right NPD party, arguing that it was not a threat to the country's democracy.
There was some criticism from within Bjoern Hoecke's own party. Marcus Pretzell, the husband of national leader Frauke Petry, said he had shown considerable ignorance about the Nazi era.
The AfD is due to host a conference in Germany at the weekend that includes right-wing and far-right European leaders.

The Japanese firm says the technology works by playing a sound and then checking how it resonates in the wearer's ear canal.
This provides a biometric check that serves as an alternative to a fingerprint sensor or eye scanner.
NEC said it intended to make products using the facility available before the end of 2018.
One expert praised the innovation for offering a fresh alternative to passcodes - which can be spied on and stolen - but warned that the innovation could be turned against its user.
NEC said its earbuds could be used to complete an ID test in about one second.
The earphones need to be fitted with a microphone, it explained, in order to record the waveforms generated by a short burst of audio noise as it was reflected around the eardrum.
Since the shape and size of each person's ears are unique, the firm said, the resulting data could be used to distinguish an individual.
"It enables a natural way of conducting continuous authentication, even during movement and while performing work, simply by wearing an earphone with a built-in microphone to listen to the sounds within ears," said NEC manager Shigeki Yamagata.
The firm added that it believed its technique would act as a reliable check more than 99% of the time.
The German security firm SRLabs was among the first to demonstrate that fingerprint sensors can be spoofed, and the organisation has long warned that the danger with using any biometric marker is that once an identifier has been copied you cannot reset it like a password.
The problem was recently highlighted when it emerged a US government database containing millions of people's fingerprint records had been hacked.
One of SRLabs' researchers also highlighted another problem: it is potentially easier for the authorities to force someone to comply with a fingerprint or ear canal check than it is to make them reveal their password.
"I bet the FBI is regretting the fact that [San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook] hadn't been using an iPhone with a fingerprint sensor as they could have forced his dead body to have unlocked the handset for them rather than trying to make the courts get Apple to help," said Ben Schlabs.
Technology consultant Ben Wood suggested earbud-based checks might also prove less convenient than using sensors built into a mobile phone.
"People always have their handsets with them - that's not the case for their earphones," he said.
"But they do make sense as a way to provide authentication if you are already on a call while using them."
He added that the two techniques could also be combined.
"Two-factor authentication is becoming a bigger deal as we move away from traditional passwords, so using both a fingerprint and an earprint, if that's what it's called, could be useful to those who want a higher level of security." | NEC has announced that it is developing earbuds that can confirm an owner's identity. |

The move means that the British Transport Police (BTP) will no longer operate as a separate force in Scotland.
BTP wanted to continue providing this service, with oversight by Holyrood instead of Westminster.
But Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has decided against that.
He wants the force's Scottish operations and more than 200 officers integrated into Police Scotland.
In a statement, the Scottish government said: "Police Scotland is responsible for all policing in Scotland outwith the railways and we believe the functions of the British Transport Police should be integrated within the single service.
"The BTP provide a specialist function that is recognised and valued by the rail industry and its passengers and it is essential that this specialism is maintained within Police Scotland.
"This will ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of all policing in Scotland, keeping communities safe and strong".
A letter released to the BBC by the Scottish government under freedom of information reveals that former Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill offered to takeover the BTP in 2011.
He wrote to the then UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond on the day that the creation of a single Scottish police force was announced.
In the letter, Mr MacAskill wrote: "I would like to explore the potential for the BTP in Scotland to become part of the new Scottish policing landscape".
The Scottish government has also released an email from the British Transport Police Federation, which represents police officers, expressing anger at the Smith commission recommendation.
In this note dated 5 December 2014, the federation's chairman, George Lewis said: "Such a move is both unjustified and unjustifiable.
"It is a betrayal of the BTP and our members who have worked tirelessly to achieve their policing targets year after year".
SNP ministers had a high-profile dispute with the British Transport Police over its use of stop and search when they first took office.
Mr Matheson told the Police Oracle website that railway policing needed to become part of Police Scotland because of the country's "distinctive approach to policing".
And he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Police reforms have been taking place in Scotland over the last 18 months, moving to the single force.
"It's been the Scottish government's view that this [transport policing] would be better if it was integrated into Police Scotland given that it would sit alongside our national police service.
"That's why we believe this would be a better fit for how we are taking policing forward in Scotland."
The Smith Commission on further devolution recommended that policing the railway be devolved and this was included in draft legislation drawn up by the UK government.
This is expected to become law after the general election and the BTP could become part of Police Scotland by the end of 2016.
A BTP spokesman said: "We are aware of the justice secretary's public comments on the future of railway policing in Scotland.
"Our number one priority remains the continued safety and security of the railways in Scotland, and across the rest of the network.
"Since the announcement that rail policing was to be devolved, we have been in dialogue with the Scottish and UK governments, the rail industry and other key stakeholders. These discussions continue."
A UK Department for Transport spokesman said: "How rail transport is policed in Scotland will be a matter for Scotland once the legislation is passed."
Labour MP Tom Harris was the minister responsible for the British Transport Police in 2007-08.
"BTP is a long-standing and effective police force" he said.
"It will be sad to see it merged with Police Scotland as part of a further centralisation of services.
"This move is premature. No-one has been consulted - neither the travelling public nor the police officers themselves. A hasty decision today could put at jeopardy the safety of the travelling public tomorrow."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Some people have argued that the Scottish Parliament should choose to keep the force as one single entity across the UK instead of integrating into Police Scotland.
"I think that is worthy of consideration. We need to have that debate. We need to consider this carefully rather than deciding now what the structure should be."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "People will look at this move and think the SNP is again using Police Scotland to make a political point.
"The British Transport Police are hugely respected and valued by passengers. One of their key duties is policing cross-border services, but now they will have to get off the train before Scotland and be replaced by officers from the single force.
Mr Johnstone added: "I think the public will be concerned by yet more centralising by the Scottish government."
BTP has 231 officers in Scotland according to the BTP federation website and a network of 11 offices within major railway stations.
It is dwarfed by Police Scotland which is the largest force in the UK outside London, with more than 17,000 officers.
Under one possible model, BTP could become the Scottish Transport Police division of Police Scotland.
The Scottish Police Authority, which oversees the work of Police Scotland, said it had already started discussions with the BTP.
BTP and its governing body are due to meet to consider their response to the Scottish government's plan.
The cross-border force is worried that losing its Scottish division could lead to the break-up of the entire force.
There have been previous discussions about the Metropolitan Police taking over railway policing in London.

The crimes took place between 2007 and 2016, according to the Yorkshire Post.
Taggart, of Marlowe Court, Garforth, is due to be sentenced on 4 July.
In a statement, Labour said it had suspended him "as soon as the party became aware of the allegations he was facing".

The 50kg (110lb) device was removed by a specialist Army team and safely detonated.
The bomb, thought to date from the early 1940s German air raids on London, was found on Thursday.
Homes and businesses were evacuated and the Army built a blast wall around the device in case it exploded.
The device was taken away by the Royal Logistic Corps disposal teams to a safe area to be detonated in a controlled explosion.
Police confirmed it was blown up in an unspecified location in Bedfordshire shortly after 17:00 BST.
After the bomb was removed from its position near Wembley, street cordons were taken down and people were allowed back into the area.
Wembley Stadium said its weekend games would go ahead including the Championship Middlesbrough v Norwich play-off on Monday.
"This weekend's games remain unaffected and we look forward to welcoming supporters of all six Football League Play-Off finalists to Wembley", it tweeted.
The Army said the bomb was located about 200m (656ft) away from Wembley Stadium but there was no risk to the venue. Empire Way had been partially closed and a 400m cordon was in place while bomb disposal experts dealt with the device.
The bomb was reported at about 15:00 BST on Thursday and Met Police officers said about 300 properties had been evacuated, which included the TV studio where Britain's Got Talent is filmed.
Ch Supt Mick Gallagher, from Brent Police, said the public had been "very mature" in its response to the bomb.
He said 70 people had spent the night in an evacuation centre and more people joined them in the morning.
"I must also thank our courageous soldiers from various Army regiments for working tirelessly for over 24 hours, using their skill and experience to safely bring this incident to its conclusion," he added.
An Army spokesman said: "This bomb is a live munition in a potentially dangerous condition so it's important that people listen to the police and evacuate their homes if asked.
"Any bomb, even under a controlled explosion, could cause significant damage to property and there is a genuine risk to life."
The Met Police said it had worked with disposal experts and partner agencies "to keep disruption to local residents and businesses to an absolute minimum", while ensuring everyone's safety.

The three unions said the offer was not without issues but was the "only credible and viable way to secure the future".
Agreements on changes to pensions have been seen as essential to future investment, including £1bn at the Port Talbot plant in Wales over 10 years.
A ballot on the offer is expected to go ahead on Monday.
But up until now, unions have been saying the decision for more than 6,000 workers was a personal one, based on individual circumstances.
"We do not make this recommendation lightly," said a joint-statement from Unite, GMB and Community unions.
"Nobody is saying that the proposal on the table is without issues. We fully understand the concerns of members, particularly around the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS).
"But as we have said before what you are voting on is the best outcome that could be achieved through negotiation. It is our collective view, supported by our independent experts, that this is the only credible and viable way to secure the future."
A consultation on changes to the BSPS was announced in December, as part of a deal which included a pact to avoid compulsory redundancies for five years and 10 years of investment.
Under the changes announced, the BSPS would close to future accrual, replaced with a defined contribution scheme with maximum contributions of 10% from Tata and 6% from workers.
An initial offer involved a new pension scheme with contributions of only 3% from the company and 3% from employees.
More than 100 union members from across Tata met on Thursday.
The unions said they had listened to feedback from members, wanting them to make clear what their views were.
"As with any agreement, the devil is in the detail and some of the details have only been finalised this week," they added.
Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock, who has the Port Talbot plant in his constituency, tweeted: "I am sure that steelworkers will take the steel unions' endorsement of the deal into account, when they are weighing up how to cast their votes".
Analysis from Brian Meechan, BBC Wales business correspondent
The unions are reluctantly recommending the deal because the consequences of rejecting it are ultimately so great.
Initially, the three trades unions said it was a personal matter about personal circumstances.
But it says something about the strength of feeling on the shop floor because the unions certainly believed they had got the best deal possible from Tata.
They thought it was something they could sell to workers but they have been finding it very difficult to convince some of those workers after a turbulent year which started with job losses and then led to a sales process, which ended up being cancelled.
So it seems over the last few weeks that the unions had a genuine concern their members would vote against it.
But in many ways, Tata's workers have been left out of much of the decision-making - most of which has been happening 4,500 miles away in Mumbai. So this is their first opportunity to have that power to decide things for themselves again.
It is unlikely Tata will come back with anything better and First Minister Carwyn Jones has said there is no plan B.
The unions now hope with their backing of the deal that it will be more likely to go through. | Unions at Tata have recommended steel workers at its UK plants accept a deal which includes pension reform. |

The Wales centre is one of eight internationals coach Wayne Pivac will give first pre-season outings.
Davies rejoined Scarlets after two years with Clermont and will play a week after seeing his brother James win a silver medal at the Rio Olympics.
"I'm looking forward to it, he's a great player coming back," said fellow centre Scott Williams.
Davies' return to the Scarlets on a dual contract with the Welsh Rugby Union was heralded as a key signing for the game in Wales as well as the region.
The 2013 British and Irish Lion is one of a number of players opting to either return from playing in England and France or to stay in Wales.
As well as being a boost for the domestic game, it means tough competition for places in the Scarlets midfield with player-of-the-season Hadleigh Parkes, Gareth Owen and Steffan Hughes also in the mix.
Williams, who missed most of the 2015-16 domestic season with a knee injury he suffered playing in Wales' World Cup win over England, welcomes the competition.
"I think Jonathan is enjoying it back here with the boys - it's our second week in now so we've been straight back in the mix," he added.
"You want competition in positions it keeps you all on your toes and brings out the best in you.
"Last season maybe that's what we didn't have, just that strength in depth when some one got injured we didn't have someone with a bit of experience to come in.
"This year we can chop and change and if someone is carrying a knock we've got as-good a player to come in and fill that position."
Scarlets were beaten 45-3 by Exeter in their first pre-season friendly, but coach Pivac says the team to play Bath is being picked with their opening Pro12 game against Munster on 3 September.
He confirmed Williams and Davies will both play against Bath, along with Ken Owens, Jake Ball, John Barclay, Gareth Davies, Aled Davies and Liam Williams.
Pivac added that Jonathan Davies' recent return from Rio was not a concern because he resumed pre-season training before the other internationals in the squad.
"Jonathan came in a week earlier than the others and put in some solid work," he said.
"Those players won't be playing the entire game, it's about being smart and easing them into it.
"They've had a big break and they're in a bit of catch-up mode so we don't have a lot of pre-season matches so it's important they get a run."

So news that former high-profile hacker Adrian Lamo had turned over an Army intelligence analyst to authorities was met with derision by some.
"A lot of people have labelled me a snitch," Mr Lamo told BBC News. "I guess I deserve that on this one but not as a generality."
"This was a very hard decision for me."
Mr Lamo is a former hacker, who exposed security flaws at the New York Times, Yahoo and Microsoft. After a brief stint hiding from the FBI, Mr Lamo was imprisoned and fined. He now works as a journalist and security analyst.
Mr Lamo says that he was responsible for reporting Specialist (SPC) Brad Manning to the military authorities after the analyst boasted to him that he had handed over thousands of classified documents and classified military video to whistle-blower site Wikileaks.
One video posted to the site shows a US Apache helicopter killing up to 12 people - including two Reuters journalists - during an attack in Baghdad in 2007. Two children were also seriously injured in the attack. Some of the men were armed.
Mr Manning, 22, reportedly acquired the video during the course of his work at a US Military field base FOB Hammer, on the outskirts of Baghdad.
US intelligence analyst arrested
Mr Lamo said that he did not suspect anything unusual when Mr Manning contacted him over instant messenger and e-mail.
"I'm contacted on a daily basis by all kinds of people who confess to all kinds of federal crimes," he said.
"I have never once turned them in, even when the FBI offered me a deal."
However, after Mr Manning confessed to distributing the documents, Mr Lamo said that his stance changed and he "felt the need to contact investigators".
"At the moment he gave me the information, it was basically a suicide pact."
"I was worried for my family - that if I were obstructing justice that they could be caught up in any investigation," he said.
"I wanted to do this one by the book, by the numbers. I didn't want any more FBI agents knocking at the door."
Mr Lamo also said that he had decided to report Mr Manning for reasons of national security.
Instead of going straight to the authorities, Mr Lamo disclosed the information to "a friend" who had worked as an agent in the Army counter intelligence unit.
"He put me in touch with some of his former colleagues who he felt could handle the issue in a low key way," he said.
Who are WikiLeaks?
Four agents - from different federal and military agencies - turned up at his house to read the conversation logs - from his e-mail and instant messenger conversations with Mr Manning - "one by one", he added.
"I gave them conversation logs that implicated Special Agent Manning.
"They were particularly interested in a code word for a major operation."
Mr Lamo also described how Mr Manning had supposedly obtained the documents.
"He described the process of operational security in detail," said Mr Lamo.
"What he described was a culture of insecurity with poor attention to information.
"The field base didn't have significant security."
He said that Mr Manning would download the documents from a room that needed a unique security code to access it. However, security on the base had slipped, he said.
"He said you'd knock on the door and they'd let you in."
Mr Lamo said that Mr Manning would take a CD labelled Lady Gaga into the room which he would load into a computer.
"Basically he sat down and started burning data to the CD whilst pretending to be bopping along."
Mr Manning would then upload the documents to Wikileaks servers, which are held in various countries around the world and anonymise the source.
Wikileaks has not confirmed Mr Manning as the source of the video and has said it never collects personal information on sources. It said that it has not been sent 260,000 classified US embassy cables that Mr Manning reportedly leaked to the site.
Wikileaks also questions Mr Lamo's credibility.
However, the US military has confirmed that Mr Manning has been detained on suspicion of leaking classified documents and video. He is being held "in pre-trial confinement" in Kuwait.
"I want to be proud of it but I can't bring myself to be. I keep thinking about what it was like being 22, alone and not knowing about my future," said Mr Lamo.
"Knowing that I did that to somebody - it hurts. I feel like I should be talking to a priest."
He said he had been placed in a situation where "an impossible decision had to be made".
"I hope that Manning gets the same chance as I did - the same chance to take his punishment as I did and start a new life as I did."
"I like to think I prevented him from getting into more serious trouble." | Hackers often pride themselves on their anti-authoritarian and counter culture stance. |

Ms Ortega, a fierce critic of President Nicolás Maduro, called for an independent audit of the vote.
The move came just hours after the British-based company, Smartmatic, that supplied the voting system said that the turnout figures had been inflated.
Mr Maduro has dismissed the claims.
Watch: 'We know the turnout was manipulated'
Ms Ortega said she had appointed two prosecutors to investigate four out of the five directors of the National Electoral Council (CNE) "for this very scandalous act that could generate more violence in the country than what we have already experienced".
Critics say the council is stacked with government loyalists who do the president's bidding.
But one of its five directors, Luis Rondón, has been openly critical of the constituent assembly, which President Maduro convened.
Speaking on Wednesday, he said that the allegations made by election technology company Smartmatic backed up the concerns he had raised about failures in the run-up to the vote.
"This election was different from all others carried out by the National Electoral Council," he said before demanding that "the results should be transparent for all Venezuelan people".
He also pointed out that the full results still had not been published and that the council's website was showing an error message.
Mr Rondón called on his fellow electoral council directors to suspend the swearing in of the constituent assembly members until a full audit had been carried out.
However, this is unlikely to happen as the head of the electoral council, Tibisay Lucena, has defended the vote and its results.
Just hours after Mr Rondón's statement, Ms Ortega also cast doubt on the legality of Sunday's poll.
"We are facing an unprecedented, serious incident that represents a crime," she told CNN.
However, it is unclear at this point if the investigation is likely to proceed.
Previous attempts by Ms Ortega to challenge executive decisions have been blocked and she has been fiercely attacked by government loyalists.

Back in 1957 though, things looked a little different - not least because only 10 countries entered, an increase of three on the contest's debut the year before.
That year the UK was represented by the unknown Patricia Bredin from Hull, singing a love song called All.
She ended up in seventh place, her six points outshone by Netherlands' entrant Corry Brokken, who took the crown with 31 points.
Despite the setback Ms Bredin, then 22, went on to have a long career on stage and screen before retiring to a farm in Canada.
Now aged in her 80s, Ms Bredin has clear memories of her performance.
"Singing in the final in Frankfurt, Germany it was wonderful, because they had about a 60 piece orchestra and it was like being on clouds."
Ms Bredin grew up in west Hull and attended the Newland School for Girls.
Her singing career began as a member of the Hull Operatic Society, performing in shows at the City Hall and other venues.
She landed the Eurovision chance after being spotted singing at London's Savoy Hotel.
And a short meeting with BBC executives, who asked her "Would you like to be on TV?", was all it took to get the job.
"Two songs had been chosen and each one had to be sung by two different performers, but they had a problem because nobody wanted to sing that terrible little song called All," she said.
The song was less than two minutes long and despite her performance being broadcast on TV, the public did not have an opportunity to send it into the charts as she never recorded it.
John Kennedy O'Connor, author of the official history of the Eurovision Song Contest, said the contest then did not have the media focus it enjoys now.
"It was a much more formal process that it is now and a much more formal type of show," he said.
"At that time the contest just didn't mean anything to anybody. So I don't think she really benefited from it."
But, Ms Bredin became a regular in musicals in the West End and on Broadway, once taking over a role from Julie Andrews.
She also acted in a number of British films, appearing alongside Ian Carmichael and Sid James.
And, while singing on the liner QE2 in the 1960s, she met Canadian millionaire Charles MacCulloch. The pair married and moved to a farm in Nova Scotia.
She was widowed soon after the wedding and remained in Canada raising cattle.
Reflecting on her Eurovision appearance, she said she was just pleased to still be remembered.

The country's winter window closed on Tuesday, with the 16 Chinese Super League clubs passing the £215m spent by England's 20 top-tier teams in January.
Oscar's move to Shanghai SIPG for about £60m and Shanghai Shenhua's reported £40m deal for Carlos Tevez came days before spending caps were announced.
Limits on the number foreign players in squads are in place for the new season.
Only three non-Chinese players can be fielded in a fixture when the season starts in March, a move the country's football association hopes will combat "irrational" spending.
But the total spend for the winter window - which ran from 1 January to 28 February - was a record for the Super League, exceeding the 2016 window by £36m.
The Chinese Super League's spending power came to prominence when 25-year-old Oscar agreed to leave Chelsea to join Shanghai SIPG for £60m.
It proved the biggest deal globally in the winter window but other notable Chinese moves saw Odion Ighalo join Changchun Yatai - a side who finished fifth from bottom last season - for £20m.
Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel, who was thought to be an Everton target, moved from Zenit St Petersburg to Tianjin Quanjian, where he will receive a reported £15.3m annual salary.
China's winter window runs for 28 days longer than those of European clubs. The country's spend was 16 times bigger than the total outlay in La Liga and more than the sum spent in Spain, Italy, Germany and France combined.
Figures obtained from Transfermarkt.co.uk show the total net spend of the Chinese Super League stands at £332m in 2017, a sizeable jump from about £25m in 2013.
When announcing intent to place limits on spending and foreign imports in early January, the government said clubs have been "burning money".
Their move to cool the habit proved controversial, with some clubs already boasting more than three overseas players in their squads, many of whom earn substantial wages.
Previously the rule was "4+1" - four foreigners of any nationality plus one Asian player in a matchday squad.
Quotas, caps and restrictions in a league quickly developing a reputation for its vast resources also go against the theory that some clubs' big-business backers are splashing out in hope of winning favour with President Xi Jinping, who has called for China to become one of the game's superpowers.
The limits being applied to the Chinese transfer market may have already stopped some potential deals, with Tianjin Quanjian's chairman saying the club had dropped bids for Chelsea's Diego Costa, PSG's Edinson Cavani, Monaco's Radamel Falcao and Benfica's Raul Jimenez as a result.

It is hoped the redevelopment will attract an extra 28,000 visitors a year to the museum at Stirling Castle.
Yorkshire-based consultants PLB have been appointed exhibition designers for the project.
Prince William launched the Thin Red Line Appeal to secure the museum's future last October.
The Museum Trust said the aim of the project is to "reinterpret the regimental museum for the current era".
The museum, which attracts about 185,000 visitors every year, is based in the A-listed 15th Century Royal Palace known as The King's Old Buildings.
The Trust said the redeveloped museum would place "one of Scotland's greatest regiments more firmly in the context of the nation's story."
The construction work is expected to be completed in early 2019.
PLB's creative designer Jamie McCall, said: "This commission challenges us to explore the history of the regiment and present their story through an interactive and thought-provoking museum, one which attracts audiences of all ages from all nations.
"Our plans include utilising the original architecture, whilst revisiting the spatial layout and working with the museum and Stirling Castle to create a really unique visitor offer."
Project director Col AK Miller said: "PLB understood our desire to tell the Argylls' story in the wider context of Scotland and the UK - from the Highland Clearances, through the Industrial Revolution and the expansion of Empire, to the World Wars and post-colonial era." | Construction work on a £4m project to transform the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum will begin in summer 2018. |

Anabolic steroids are used to enhance athletic performance and increase muscle mass but can cause heart and liver problems.
The BBC found a product called Prostasia is advertised on Facebook, along with branded merchandise.
Facebook said it tackled any "illegal activity" as soon as it knew about it.
Anabolic steroids - which are banned in professional sport - mimic the effects of testosterone but used at unsafe levels can cause high blood pressure and heart attacks.
It is a crime to make, advertise or sell the Class C drug. The offence carries an unlimited fine and can result in a prison sentence.
However, a BBC Inside Out investigation found dealers trading online across the UK.
Posing as a user, its reporter became a member of 30 closed Facebook groups dedicated to selling steroids.
The steroid testosterone propionate was purchased online from Jon Elliott whose online status says he is based in Northampton.
When tested in a laboratory it was also found to contain the steroid testosterone enantate, which was not on the labelling.
A former steroid user, who did not wish to be named, told Inside Out that his liver became inflamed and the left ventricle of his heart was enlarged as a result of taking steroids.
He added: "My thyroids, according to my doctor, were on the verge of packing up which would have required me to take medication for the rest of my life."
He also suffered paranoia, depression and problems with work and relationships.
"Paranoia was one of the big things for me. I convinced myself something was happening that was not happening," he said.
Anca Frinculescu, a pharmacist at the Tic Tac Lab, said "[This is] dangerous because you never know what you buy and you never know the strength.
"There are plenty of side effects that can appear after use."
The seller, Mr Elliott, who trades online under his own name, was confronted by Inside Out. He denied selling the drugs, claiming his Facebook account had been hacked.
Some sellers have created a brand, like a legitimate business.
Prostasia has UK and US sales pages and a promotional video. Users can buy branded hoodies, mugs and mobile phone covers.
It also boasts that a female "sponsored athlete" has had its logo tattooed on to her neck.
One of its sellers Craig James - real name Frazer Craig - sold steroids to Inside Out.
When approached by the BBC at his home in Sutton Coldfield with evidence he was selling the drug illegally, he said: "You haven't, I'm sorry", and declined to comment further.
Bjorn Otto Peacock, from Essex, produces Prostasia merchandise and advertises the drug online.
"I don't know nothing about that," he told the BBC.
"I just get orders for hoodies and stuff, they send me pictures and writing they want and I print them off."
He denied he had used Facebook to advertise Prostasia for sale or posted photos of himself with the drug.
A Facebook spokesman said: "Our community standards make it clear that we prohibit the sale of illegal items on our site.
"We have built a vast reporting infrastructure that allows anyone to report things that break these rules.
"As soon as we are alerted to such illegal activity we work quickly to remove it, as we have done here."

There is an urgent need to increase the number of potential therapies being investigated, say US scientists.
Only one new medicine has been approved since 2004, they report in the journal Alzheimer's Research & Therapy.
The drug failure rate is troubling and higher than for other diseases such as cancer, says Alzheimer's Research UK.
Dr Jeffrey Cummings, of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, in Las Vegas, and colleagues, examined a public website that records clinical trials.
Between 2002 and 2012, they found 99.6% of trials of drugs aimed at preventing, curing or improving the symptoms of Alzheimer's had failed or been discontinued.
This compares with a failure rate of 81% for cancer drugs.
The failure rate was "especially troubling" given the rising numbers of people with dementia, said Dr Simon Ridley, of Alzheimer's Research UK.
"The authors of the study highlight a worrying decline in the number of clinical trials for Alzheimer's treatments in more recent years," he said.
"There is a danger that the high failure rates of trials in the past will discourage pharmaceutical companies from investing in dementia research.
"The only way we will successfully defeat dementia is to continue with high quality, innovative research, improve links with industry and increase investment in clinical trials."
Experimental models
Dr Eric Hill, of the School of Life and Health Sciences at Aston University, said more research was needed to understand the complex mechanisms behind the disease.
"The development of better experimental models that could be incorporated into a battery of tests, will not only help us to understand the changes that occur in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients, but also provide tools for the development of new drug treatments that could slow or stop the onset of disease," he told BBC News.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
It affects more than 820,000 people in the UK and costs the economy £23bn a year. | More than 99% of drug trials for Alzheimer's disease during the past decade have failed, according to a study. |

The spent rounds, discovered by a prisoner sorting through clothing at Littlehey Prison, near Huntingdon earlier this month, were handed to a guard by the inmate.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "They were quickly removed and there was no risk to the security of the prison."
An internal investigation is taking place.
Littlehey Prison, in the village of Perry, houses up to 1,206 adult male sex offenders and is a category C jail.
The ammunition cases were found in the pocket of a jacket in a supervised recycling workshop.
A Prison Service spokesman confirmed "two empty ammunition cases were discovered in a supervised sorting area at HMP Littlehey earlier this month".
He said the cases, which did not contain gunpowder or firing pins, were handed to workshop instructors.
All prisoners are "thoroughly searched" when they leave the shop, he added.
Textile recycling company LMB collects clothes from various locations, including supermarkets. Some are sent to prisons to be sorted by inmates.
Last July, an imitation hand gun was found at an LMB recycling workshop at Highpoint Prison near Haverhill, Suffolk.

Pte Cheryl James, from Llangollen in Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die from bullet wounds at the Surrey army base between 1995 and 2002.
Her former room-mate Lisa Slattery said she laughed when she first heard the gunshot because she thought Pte James had fired her gun accidentally.
Shortly after a sergeant told female recruits to stay where they were.
Ms Slattery said the sergeant ordered a group of male soldiers to follow him.
"Someone said, 'Don't phone home or anything like that. Go to this room and we can talk about what happened'," she told the hearing in Woking.
Nicholas Moss QC, representing the Ministry of Defence (MoD), said the instruction was presumably because Pte James's parents had not been informed of their daughter's death.
Ms Slattery replied: "I don't know. I remember being really upset because I could not tell my parents."
Another former recruit said Pte James had asked to be put in a cell for bad behaviour to avoid doing guard duty.
Glen Rankin said: "Cheryl didn't want to be on guard duty the following morning.
"She was asking me to say she had been in trouble and say she was drunk and put her in a cell. She was pretty drunk.
"She was a bit upset I would say. She was pretty adamant she didn't want to go on guard duty for whatever reason that was."
Mr Rankin said he was surprised to see Pte James arrive for guard duty the following day and she appeared "quite happy".
Asked whether Pte James talked about her future in the Army, he replied: "At times I got the impression she didn't like it. Just the place in general put you off being in the Army and how they treated you."
Det Supt Brian Boxall, who led the 2002 Surrey Police investigation into the death of Pte James, was due to appear as a witness on the sixth day of the inquest.
But at the start of the hearing, coroner Brian Barker QC said it had been agreed by all parties that Mr Boxall was no longer required to give evidence.
The inquest continues.

Rosa King, 34, died at Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire on Monday.
The findings of a 2012 inspection report highlighting damaged fencing and concerns over "escape protocol" were widely reported after her death.
However, the local council confirmed its recommendations were "fully complied with".
Ms King, whose family home is in Chippenham, Wiltshire, had worked at the zoo for 14 years.
A joint investigation by police and Huntingdonshire District Council - which is responsible for licensing the zoo - is currently under way to determine how the incident happened.
More news from Cambridgeshire
The last inspection report the council has been able to provide to the BBC dates from 2013.
When inspectors visited the zoo in 2012 they advised the owners to "review, repair and replace [an] ageing/damaged perimeter fence where the structural integrity of the fence is compromised" and said "the escape protocol should be amended to to categorise animals of varying sizes".
However, a council spokesman has confirmed "all of the conditions on that report were fully complied with" and the zoo's licence was renewed by the authority same year. It expires in 2019.
The zoo has been closed since the incident on Monday morning and the council was unable to say when it might re-open or how long the investigation might last.
It has not responded to any other questions from the BBC.
Earlier this week police confirmed the tiger which killed Ms King was unharmed and was still alive.
Meanwhile, colleagues have paid tribute to the senior keeper.
In a statement released by the zoo, they said: "Rosa was not only an invaluable and highly respected member of our team, first and foremost, she was our friend and we miss her very much.
"Rosa's passion and commitment to animals and wildlife were an inspiration to all those who worked with and knew her.
"We are still coming to terms with what has happened."
Details of how Ms King died have not yet been released, and an inquest is expected to take place next week.

Max Gradel scored the goal that gave the Elephants the only victory in the six matches in the group, and saved them from having to draw lots.
He smashed in a drive from 20 yards to set up a last eight match with Group C runners-up Algeria on Sunday.
Edgar Salli missed two good chances to equalise, hesitating when clean through and also blazing over from in the box.
Those glaring misses left Cameroon bottom of the group - their worst finish at a Nations Cup finals - and it also means lots will need to be drawn on Thursday to decide whether Mali or Guinea, who played out the fifth 1-1 stalemate of Group D, take the other quarter-final place.
Ivory Coast will be relieved to have avoided that lottery, having gone out in 1988 by that method, as they did just enough to earn the win that guaranteed them passage to the knock-out stages for the sixth successive time.
They had the better of the early exchanges, Serge Aurier crossing for Wilfried Bony, whose effort via his hip was pushed round the post by keeper Fabrice Ondoa, before right-back Aurier was himself denied as the Cameroon stopper dived low to keep out a header.
But neither side was brimming with confidence and the first half-hour lacked fluency and decisiveness.
It was a moment of uncertainty from Cameroon defender Jerome Guihoata that cost his side dear when he lost the ball to Gradel 25 yards out and the forward sent a rasping drive into the left corner to open the scoring.
Cameroon had a chance to restore parity three minutes later, but Salli took too long to get his shot away when clean though and Sylvain Gbohouo rushed out to save with his legs.
Salli was guilty of a worse miss when he blazed high and wide from the edge of the box with the last kick of the half - and it proved to be his final touch as he was replaced by Vincent Aboubakar at the start of the second period.
It was a change that was destined not to work for Cameroon as Aboubakar could do no better than Salli, spurning his side's only clear second-half chance, scuffing a shot from eight yards out.
Cameroon were simply unable to find a spark to ignite their play and in the end the Indomitable Lions limped out of the tournament.
Ivory Coast will hope that Yaya Toure has not done the same, as the Manchester City midfielder looked to be carrying an injury when he was substituted on 82 minutes.

However, the public spending watchdog's report said annual long-term savings were 4% less than planned.
It said the initiative only exceeded targets through one-off savings, such as reducing Formula One coverage.
The NAO also warned of "more challenging" changes in the future, and said more services may be at risk.
The BBC began its Delivering Quality First (DQF) initiative in 2012-13, after the licence fee was frozen at £145.50 during negotiations with the government in 2010.
The NAO report, published by the BBC Trust, examined its progress.
It said the BBC had "so far delivered value for money" with overall savings in line with forecasts, "without significantly impacting on performance".
However, it said that plans to make around 85% of remaining savings from productivity improvement meant "greater challenges" lay ahead, with more changes to structures and ways of working than in the first few years of the programme.
The report found the BBC, which plans to cut annual costs by £700m by the end of 2016-17 compared to 2011-12, made "fewer productivity savings and earned less from commercial income than planned".
"The BBC has made reported annual savings of £374 million by such means as renegotiating existing contracts, limiting salary increases and reducing the number of more expensive senior staff," said Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office.
"The BBC has taken a systematic approach to how it can achieve future savings, but it needs to keep the implementation of its plans under review.
"This will lessen the risk of the BBC's having to make further reductions to scope by, for example, cutting the number of new programmes it commissions or acquires."
One controversial proposal by director General Tony Hall is to axe digital channel BBC Three from the TV schedules, moving it online. This would save around £50m a year, £30m of which could be ploughed into BBC Drama.
Nick Prettejohn, chair of the BBC Trust's Value for Money committee, said the report recognised that "good progress" was being made.
"The NAO has suggested that the final years will present greater challenges and we agree that there is a limit to the extent costs can be reduced before quality begins to suffer," said Prettejohn.
"We believe the remaining targets should be met and will continue to track progress to ensure that savings do not have an unintended impact on the programmes and content which audiences love."
The NAO report also said the BBC cut public service broadcasting staff costs by 17% during the first two years of the programme, despite staff numbers falling by only 1% overall.
In a statement, Anne Bulford, the BBC's managing director of finance and operations, said: "For just £2.80 a week, the BBC provides great value to licence fee payers, and, as this report makes clear, the BBC has exceeded its efficiency targets."
She added: "We're on track to save £1.5 billion a year by 2016-17 despite the licence fee being frozen and some of it being used by the government for other projects such as broadband roll-out and local television.
"We have a good track record in delivering value for money, and won't stop searching for ways to become more efficient so even more of the licence fee goes into the programmes and services that people love." | The BBC's cost-cutting programme exceeded targets by making savings of £374m in 2013-14, according to the National Audit Office (NAO). |

But she told the BBC it did not make it "impossible", as she made the case for a vote to stay in the EU on 23 June.
If the UK left the EU it would have to accept free movement rules "without any say" over them in order to access the single market, she warned.
Vote Leave said Mrs May had "given up" on trying to control immigration.
"The only way to take back control of our borders and have a fair immigration policy is to vote Leave on 23 June," its chief executive, Matthew Elliot said.
But speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mrs May - who has so far kept a low profile in the referendum debate - said immigration policy and border control were "different" issues and should not be conflated.
In her first major intervention in the campaign since backing Remain, the home secretary said: "Yes, free movement makes it harder to control immigration but it doesn't make it impossible to control immigration."
She said controlling immigration - whether from inside or outside the EU - "is hard", and added: "We have constantly to be working at it, which is exactly what we're doing, so you can't just change one feature and assume that is going to have an impact."
Warning against an EU exit, Mrs May said: "If we were to be outside the European Union and still want the sort of access to the single market that people talk about... where that's been done for other countries, they have to accept the free movement rules without any say over those rules."
Free movement of people gives all EU citizens the right to travel, live and work wherever they wish within the bloc of countries.
An independent analysis recently forecast that three million more people would come to the UK by 2030 if Britain stayed in the EU.
Mrs May said she understood the public's "concerns" over immigration, and conceded the current level - well above the government's "tens of thousands" target - is "too high".
But she insisted the government was taking steps to address it, citing action to tackle "abuse" of free movement rules.
She also said the UK had "an opportunity" to change the rules in Britain's favour from within the EU, and said this is what David Cameron had achieved through his EU renegotiation, by reducing "pull factors" for migrants.
Mrs May contested claims by Leave campaigner and cabinet minister Michael Gove that EU membership means the UK cannot control its borders, saying the UK is not in the border-free Schengen area and "can stop people entering" the country.
"But crucially we can only do that if we've got the information we need to have," she added, as she made the case for continued EU membership.
Commenting on the home secretary's remarks, Vote Leave's Mr Elliott said: "It's clear that even Theresa May has given up on the government's promise to control immigration.
"She admitted that EU membership makes this impossible and that David Cameron has failed to bring any powers back from the EU to change that."
Meanwhile, justice minister Dominic Raab, who supports an EU exit, said negotiations following a potential vote to leave could include discussions on implementing visas for EU travellers heading to Britain.
"At the moment President Obama's administration... is looking at new visa requirements and screening from Germany, Belgium, Greece, France because of the recent terrorist attacks.
"I think we should at least have the power and the control to do that to make sure we keep Britain safe," he told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme.
Asked whether that would mean UK citizens requiring visas to travel to Europe, Mr Raab said: "Or some other kind of check". | The free movement of workers within the EU makes it more difficult to curb immigration to the UK, Home Secretary Theresa May has admitted. |

Ukad last week postponed a hearing into the Briton testing positive for a banned substance in February 2015.
Fury, 28, had hoped to box in July but the British Boxing Board of Control told BBC Sport he is suspended "until the matter is dealt with by Ukad".
Ukad, which has not given a timeframe, does not comment on individual cases.
BBBofC general secretary Robert Smith said: "I haven't seen any new dates yet. I presume they are trying to sort them out with legal advisors but until that hearing, his licence is suspended."
Warren described the postponement of the hearing as a "liberty" and suggested the government could "intervene".
"Ukad have got a problem," said Warren. "He's entitled to make a living. If he's done wrong then get it over with. How can this be right? Why does it drag on from 2015?"
Fury also faces potential repercussions for refusing to fulfil a later test based on perceived persecution by Ukad.
Warren asserts this took place when the former heavyweight champion of the world was struggling to cope with depression and that when Fury's uncle and trainer called Ukad "an hour later", they "refused to come back".
Fury, 28, and his cousin and fellow heavyweight Hughie Fury, 22, were charged by Ukad in June 2016 as a result of urine tests conducted 14 months earlier which showed traces of nandrolone.
Between the failed tests and charge, Tyson Fury claimed the WBA, IBF and WBO world titles from Wladimir Klitschko, while Hughie Fury fought four times.
Both men deny any wrongdoing but their hearing was postponed after over two days when Ukad cited a "potential conflict of interest" on its panel.
Hughie Fury is still free to compete but Tyson lost his licence in October 2016 as the BBBofC moved "pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues".
If the case is dismissed, Warren hopes Fury will fight on 8 July on the undercard of Billy Joe Saunders' WBO middleweight title defence against Avtandil Khurtsidze in London. | Tyson Fury's boxing licence will not be reinstated until after his UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) hearing - which promoter Frank Warren fears could be in October. |

Summarize the following article:
Rory McKenzie opened the scoring from 18 yards when Steven Smith's shot ricocheted into his path.
Marcus Haber passed up a huge chance to level when he sent his free header wide before the interval.
And Souleymane Coulibaly thundered home his 10th goal of the season in all competitions from close-range to settle the game on 70 minutes.
The Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain showed he has confidence in his feet as well as his hands after he sidestepped Nathan Tyson having controlled a passback 10 yards off his goal line, but he got away with it with neat piece of skill.
Not so neat was Cammy Kerr who was lucky just to receive a yellow card as punishment for a scything tackle on Jordan Jones. The Killie winger was in full flight when he was clattered by the Dundee wingback right in front of the home technical area.
In the 18th minute the Kilmarnock supporters protested against director Michael Johnston. Their chants of "we want Johnston out" emphasised their desire for the club's company secretary to relinquish his place on the board.
Within two minutes their chants turned to cheers as McKenzie gave Killie the lead. Smith's shot was blocked but fell at his team-mate's left foot. McKenzie's trickling effort had enough to beat Bain at his right-hand post.
Dundee, unbeaten on their last five visits to Rugby Park, could have been level had Tom Hateley made a better connection to a Marcus Haber headed knock-down. He mishit his effort from close-range at the back post on the half hour mark.
Moments later substitute Danny Williams, who had replaced James Vincent, saw his volley saved by Jamie MacDonald, who dived to his right.
Tyson almost doubled Killie's lead when drive from 18 yards clipped the crossbar on its way over.
At the other end Haber should have done better with a header which bounced wide, while Craig Wighton struck the side netting after a fine cutback from the left by Williams.
Jones's powerful running on the left flank caused the Dundee defence no shortage of problems. His deliveries from corners also posed a threat and Will Boyle should have hit the target with a header from one of them.
Just as Killie fans were striking up another chant against director Johnston their team made it 2-0. Jones was heavily involved with the ball in from the left and Coulibaly accepted the opportunity to shoot high into the net.
Bain denied Tyson then McKenzie in the dying minutes, and the feet of MacDonald prevented Williams snatching a stoppage-time consolation.
This, though, was a thoroughly deserved victory for Kilmarnock, their first in four matches.
Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark: "I thought it was a dominant performance from start to finish. We created numerous chances. I thought to a man the players were fantastic, stuck to the game plan, we forced Dundee into a system change, albeit towards the end of the game.
"It was a thoroughly deserved victory and it could've been by a bigger margin.
"The games where we're playing teams in and around us, we have to have someone in goalscoring form. Souleymane does a lot of unseen hard work for us, but he's getting his rewards with the goals, the players appreciate what he's doing."
Dundee manager Paul Hartley: "We weren't at it today. I felt Kilmarnock were better than us all over the pitch and it wasn't our best performance.
"Haber has a chance at the back post, he can maybe do better, Williams has a chance but the keeper makes a good save, but overall we didn't really threaten their goal enough.
"We didn't pass it well, we didn't get into the final third enough and we didn't get enough good balls into the box.
"These are the games that are going to be vital for us - the league table from sixth down to 12th is so tight - so I think every point is vital. But we've got to regroup and go again."

Omar Khan, 31, had worked at The Johnson Partnership in Nottingham for five years before he was arrested.
Erlin Manahasa, Albert Dibra and Nazaquat Ali were sentenced alongside Khan - who was jailed for 40 months - at Nottingham Crown Court.
They all admitted the same charge, relating to offences committed between 1 October and 4 December last year.
The court previously heard the case involved the recovery of 1kg (2.2lb) of cocaine.
Digby Johnson, a partner at the firm, told the BBC last month that they did not represent Khan - who had set up his own office and was about to leave the company.
Mr Johnson called Khan's actions "stupid" but described Khan, of William Street, Huddersfield, as "a lovely guy" who was "incredibly hard-working".
Manahasa, of no fixed address, was jailed for four and a half years, Dibra, of Joyce Avenue, Nottingham, for seven and a half years, while Ali, of Chard Street, Nottingham, was sentenced to five years in prison. | A barrister who was due to move into his own chambers in Huddersfield has been jailed for supplying cocaine. |

Krampus, in which a boy accidentally summons a Christmas demon, appears to have no connection with the East Midlands.
The fleeting shot prompted bafflement on Facebook, with one person even demanding producers "pay royalties".
Legendary Pictures and Universal have not yet commented.
The brief appearance of Nottingham's Christmas market was spotted by the son of a city council employee.
A spokesman said the authority was not approached about using the footage, but it does not necessarily have to be.
He said: "We do give permission for people to film in the city all the time but they don't always need permission, so if this footage already exists somewhere we wouldn't necessarily know about it.
"It is surprising to see Nottingham in a Hollywood trailer and we are pleased it has been used to depict a Christmas scene.
"Out of all the footage they could have picked, they chose Nottingham to show a typically Christmassy scene."
The horror movie starring Toni Colette and Adam Scott was filmed in New Zealand, according to IMDb.

Stephen Bollard, 25, had been freed early from prison for a similar offence when he raided a newsagent and grocery shop in Cockenzie, East Lothian.
The court was told the shopkeeper, Mohammad Ramzan was shaken but physically unharmed by the incident, in which Bollard brandished a screwdriver.
Bollard's lawyer said he felt "remorse" for the attack on 16 August last year.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Uist told Bollard: "When you committed this offence you were under the influence of drugs and alcohol."
Lord Uist said it was clear from a background report and his previous convictions that he had "a long-standing drug misuse problem".
He jailed Bollard for three years and two months, but ordered that he first serve 183 days imprisonment, which was outstanding from his previous sentence for armed robbery with a knife.
The judge also ordered that he should be kept under supervision for a further two years. | A man has been jailed for more than three years for a robbery in which he took a single £10 note. |

But Vaughan Gething said it still has "more to do" and continues to face big challenges as demand increases.
He was speaking to BBC Wales as latest performance figures show a main target hit for the ninth successive month.
This involves 65% of ambulances on life-threatening red calls arriving within eight minutes.
Headline figures:
A new target came into force in October after a decision to overhaul the way performance of the service is measured.
A new "clinical model" came in with a "traffic light" system of grading calls.
The decision meant ambulance response time targets for all but the most serious calls were scrapped.
Previously the eight-minute target applied to about 40% of the 999 calls the ambulance service received but now applies to only to fewer than 10% - only those judged to be immediately life-threatening.
For all other calls - categorised as amber or green - the ambulance service is given more time to judge the most appropriate response.
It is argued this allows vehicles and crews to be prioritised to calls where a life is immediately at risk,
Under the old system the service consistently failed to meet its targets amid concerns that resources were spread too thinly.
Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said the service had moved away from a "blunt target" to more refined ones which judge the quality of care for the patient.
"More and more of those are being seen within the target time," he said.
"There's also more scrutiny about what the service does and much greater focus on the quality of care and outcomes for people as well."
Although conceding that the new target is "theoretically" easier to hit overall, Stephen Harrhy, chief ambulance commissioner for Wales, said the change had meant a quicker response to the most urgent cases.
"What we've been able to demonstrate is that we can get to a lot more of the calls for those people who have immediately life-threatening conditions than we were ever able to before," he said.
Supporters of the new model say the old targets, which were introduced in 1974, only took account of speed and ignored the quality of care delivered.
Since the new system come in to force in October a raft of "quality indicators" have been published with the aim of measuring the the results for patients.
They include several "clinical indicators" - for example whether or not patients who have suffered heart attacks, strokes or have fallen and broken their hips get the most appropriate care.
They also include measures of the delays face by ambulance crews waiting for space to become available in emergency departments.
The statistics show the number of hours "lost" by ambulance crews waiting to hand over patients increased significantly during the first three months of 2016 compared to the period between October and December last year.
But the ambulance service said its performance against clinical indicators held up well despite the additional pressures across the NHS during the winter months.
It conceded there was room for further improvement - particularly in making sure performance is consistent across Wales.
Richard Lee, director of operations at Welsh Ambulance Service said the priority was to improve consistency across health board areas, "in very rural areas we have not improved as much as we'd like".
But overall, he said the response to the most urgent calls compares well with elsewhere in the UK.
Mr Lee said Wales was now "leading the way" in the UK for the way the system works and compares "very favourably" with pilot ambulance schemes running in Yorkshire and the south west of England.
"We could have invested tens of millions of pounds in hitting the previous targets but it wouldn't have made any difference to patients," he said.
"We know around 20% of our previous 'red' patients weren't even travelling to hospital.
"Our system previously categorised calls as 'potentially life threatening' and this was a very vague term. The new model concentrates resources on people who we know will come to harm if we don't arrive very quickly."
When the new targets came into force last year - opposition parties accused the Welsh Government of "moving the goalposts" to avoid criticism of ambulance service performance in the run up to the Assembly election.
Plaid Cymru described the change as a "dangerous experiment", but Mr Gething said the new model allows more scrutiny and honesty and has helped the organisation "improve its service for the people in Wales who really need it". | The ambulance service in Wales has turned a corner and its performance is "objectively getting better", the health secretary has said. |
