The first minister is urged to accept that some senior government figures may have broken the law.
Humza Yousaf has been urged to accept that Scottish government ministers could have broken the law by deleting WhatsApp messages requested by the UK Covid Inquiry.
He asked: "Does Humza Yousaf accept that if Nicola Sturgeon or any government minister has destroyed WhatsApp messages relevant to the inquiry, they would be breaking the law?" The Scottish government's mobile messaging policy, which was introduced in November 2021, suggests that conversations relating to government business should be deleted at least once a month.
Mr Yousaf said: "It is absolutely my expectation, the expectation of the permanent secretary, that potentially relevant information is kept, recorded in the appropriate way and handed over to the inquiry when it is requested.Mr Sarwar said it was "shameful" that the government was abdicating responsibility.
