The Scottish Government is to be forced to hand over pandemic WhatsApp messages after it was accused of withholding them from the UK Covid inquiry.
In what appears to be a repeat of the row between the inquiry and the UK government, no WhatsApp or other informal communications between Scottish Government ministers, civil servants, scientists and others about its response to coronavirus, have been given to the inquiry despite detailed requests.And now the Scottish Government has said it will wait for the inquiry chair Baroness Hallett to issue a Section 21 notice to legally compel it to hand in the information, rather than do so voluntarily.
He added that "very considerable efforts" had been made by inquiry officials to try to get access to all of the information it needed but that "the detail required to understand the full picture has not yet been forthcoming."However Scotland's First Minister said he would "fully investigate" the inquiry's claims and had ordered Solicitor General Ruth Charteris to investigate the matter.
