Cole-Hamilton responds to Matheson breaching Code of Conduct for MSPs

14 Mar 2024

Responding to the news that former Health Secretary Michael Matheson has been found to have breached the Scottish Parliament’s Code of Conduct for MSPs, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“From the very start, the First Minister insisted that the public had no interest in this affair and that there was no case to answer. Now, Michael Matheson has been found to have breached the Code of Conduct for MSPs on two separate grounds.

“At best the First Minister was extremely gullible about the conduct of his former Health Secretary, at worst he was complicit in covering it up.

“It is vital that we now let the Standards Committee do its work and consider an appropriate sanction.”
