Cole-Hamilton responds to Scottish Government WhatsApp ban
20 Jun 2025
Responding to the ban on WhatsApp on Scottish Government phones coming into effect, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:
“None of this changes the fact that the Scottish Government deleted WhatsApp messages on a wholesale basis throughout the pandemic.
“In doing so, they denied the Covid bereaved a full understanding of the decisions that were made, undermining their search for justice and closure.
“The SNP will have to move mountains before people can be confident this deception won’t happen again.”
