MSPs accuse Sturgeon of misleading inquiry into botched sexual misconduct probe
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon taking oath before giving evidence to the Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints, on March 3, 2021
MSPs investigating the government’s botched sexual misconduct probe into Alex Salmond have said Nicola Sturgeon misled the inquiry, increasing pressure on the First Minister to resign.
The committee on the Scottish government’s handling of harassment complaints voted 5-4 along party lines to come to its conclusion, which was leaked on Thursday night.
Sky News reported the committee believes Ms Sturgeon should have acted upon allegations about her predecessor’s conduct after being told about the then First Minister’s behaviour towards female Edinburgh Airport staff in November 2017.
