Rennie responds to launch of Constance investigation
23 Dec 2025
Responding to the Independent Advisers on the Ministerial Code deciding to launch an investigation into the conduct of Justice Secretary Angela Constance, Scottish Liberal Democrat business manager Willie Rennie MSP said:
"Sometimes in politics people get things wrong, but the decent thing to do is be upfront when that happens.
"After misrepresenting a respected expert, Angela Constance should have apologised to Professor Alexis Jay and been straight with Parliament immediately.
"Instead, the SNP chose to defend the indefensible for weeks on end."
