THE revelation that government ministers and senior officials routinely deleted messages during the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland – or did so…
It’s important to remember the context. On August 24, 2021, then First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the Scottish government would establish a judge-led Covid-19 inquiry.
Yet at the UK Covid inquiry in London last week Jamie Dawson KC, one of the Scottish advocates appointed to lead the inquiry, told the inquiry chair that little evidence had been handed over from the Scottish government – just three notebooks and no WhatsApp messages.The revelation is astonishing because we were told the Scottish government operated 137 WhatsApp groups to discuss pandemic strategy, with 70 individuals taking part in chats over two years.
Arguably, everyone was on notice from the announcement of the inquiry back in August 2021, during the pandemic. For the purpose of the 2005 Act the term “document” includes information recorded in any form – that includes e-mails, WhatsApp messages and notes. WhatsApp and other messages had to be handed over – they were for Boris Johnson but not for the current PM who said he no longer had access to them.
