Labour presses Sturgeon to reveal details of meetings with Salmond over sexual assault allegations

NICOLA STURGEON could be forced to reveal the details of her meetings with Alex Salmond after Labour filed a series of freedom of information requests.

The First Minister is facing questions over several meetings she held with her predecessor, who has been accused of sexually assaulting two members of his staff when he headed the Scottish government.

Mr Salmond denies the allegations and is suing the Scottish government in protest at the complaints procedure under which he has been investigated. The cases, which were reported to the government in January and date back to 2013, have also been referred to the police.
