Cole-Hamilton calls for unredacted documents to be passed to Salmond inquiry

Posted by Media Team | Updated 2020-08-06

Commenting on the Scottish Government's refusal to release information relating to the botched Alex Salmond investigation to the Scottish Parliament's inquiry, Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

"This evasivesness on the part of the Scottish Government does not serve them, or the people of Scotland, well.

"This saga has already cost the taxpayer more than £500,000. It is a slap in the face to not allow the Parliamentary inquiry access to unredacted versions of these documents.

"The First Minister should acknowledge where the public interest lies and order unredacted versions of these documents to be handed over."

Offering New Hope for Health

The SNP cannot keep using the pandemic as an excuse for the issues the NHS is facing. 15 years of mismanagement have brought our health service to its knees. Patients and staff desperately need new hope and deserve better than ministers who seem determined to instead turn their attentions towards independence. New hope is exactly what the Scottish Liberal Democrats will offer at the elections this May.
