Holyrood inquiry session with Salmond called off

 

Alex Salmond will not appear at the Holyrood inquiry on the government's handling of harassment complaints on Tuesday as had been planned.

 

The former first minister is locked in a dispute with the committee over what material can be published.

 

A spokeswoman for the parliament said Mr Salmond had "raised a number of issues for clarification, and that Tuesday's session would not go ahead.

 

She said the committee would continue to have talks with his representatives.

 

MSPs took more evidence from SNP chief executive Peter Murrell on Monday morning, and will discuss the issue of Mr Salmond's appearance afterwards.

 

Some members had called for an emergency meeting of the committee on Friday, with Lib Dem MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton saying the group was "in crisis".

Could Alex Salmond bring down Nicola Sturgeon?

In the next few weeks, the two most prominent figures in SNP history are expected to give evidence at a Holyrood inquiry into how the Scottish government handled harassment allegations against the former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond.

 

Mr Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon of misleading the Scottish Parliament and breaching the ministerial code.

 

Ms Sturgeon's spokesman has accused Mr Salmond of spinning false conspiracy theories.

 

The row could have significant implications for Scottish politics.

 

"He's trying to bring the house down."

 

That was the conclusion of one of Ms Sturgeon's close allies shortly after it emerged Mr Salmond was publicly accusing her of misleading the Scottish Parliament and breaking the ministerial code.

Did Nicola Sturgeon break the ministerial code?

 

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is facing questions after her predecessor Alex Salmond accused her of "repeatedly" misleading parliament and breaking the ministerial code.

 

Ms Sturgeon has rejected the accusations, but has referred herself for an independent investigation. What exactly are the claims, who will adjudicate and what could it all mean?
