The Scottish Government is to share more than 14,000 messages with the UK Covid-19 Inquiry – with First Minister Humza Yousaf to hand over unredacted WhatsApp messages, MSPs have been told.
The Deputy First Minister said a legal order, known as a Section 21 notice, had been required before the messages could be handed over because “a number of them were of a particularly personal nature, including photos of individuals’ children and personal medical details”. She said the Scottish Government would “share over 14,000 mainly WhatsApp messages from various groups and individuals over the period of the pandemic”.
A spokeswoman for the former first minister said Ms Sturgeon would fully co-operate with the inquiries and she had just submitted her third written statement, which ran to about 200 pages. He asked if the 14,000 messages to be handed over would include “all messages” from Ms Sturgeon and Mr Leitch.
