MSPs probing the Scottish Government’s botched handling of harassment allegations against former first minister Alex Salmond are now demanding ministers publish notes and emails regarding 17 meetings held with lawyers “as a matter of urgency”.
Members of the committee made the plea after Deputy First Minister John Swinney told them that records of meetings between Nicola Sturgeon, Permanent Secretary Leslie Evans and the Scottish Government’s legal counsel cannot be found.
Mr Swinney, who is facing a vote of no confidence on Wednesday in relation to the late release of legal advice to MSPs, said he was unable to provide the details that had been asked for.
