THE Scottish Government is set to hand over more than 14,000 WhatsApp messages to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
Speaking in the Scottish Parliament, Deputy First Minister Shona Robison said that work was underway to provide the inquiry with all informal communications – even ones that may have been deleted – after receiving a Section 21 notice from the Inquiry.
She said: “The UK Inquiry asked in June for summaries of all WhatsApp and similar groups related to coordination, logistics and day-to-day communication - greatly expanding the scope of what the Scottish Government needed to collate and process accordingly.“This request was followed in September by a request for the actual messages exchanged within these groups.
“We will, of course, continue to fully cooperate with both inquiries and will share any additional messages, should more become available or further material be requested.” Informal messages sent and received by First Minister Humza Yousaf during the Covid-19 pandemic, when he served as justice secretary and health secretary, will be handed over to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry unredacted, Robison added.
