The Scottish Government’s permanent secretary has defended civil servants’ work on the prospectus papers for Scottish independence.
The series of prospectus papers, which began under Nicola Sturgeon’s government, are designed to refresh the case for Scottish independence. He said the First Minister had “clear, proper and regular grounds” to appoint his ministerial team, and “it is necessary for the civil service to serve that ministerial team with impartiality”.
However, he was quizzed on recent cases where civil servants’ minutes were allegedly not taken for certain meetings, including around Ferguson Marine and the handling of complaints relating to Alex Salmond.He said there has been significant work on record-keeping and the retrieval system for information within the government.
