Humza Yousaf has been challenged at FMQs over WhatsApp messages requested by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry
Ms Sturgeon insisted this week that she has “nothing to hide”, but reports have claimed she destroyed messages.“This is the digital equivalent of building a bonfire to torch the evidence,” he said. Mr Yousaf replied: “In terms of accountability and transparency, Nicola Sturgeon stood up day after day, virtually every single day, did 250 media briefings, 70 parliamentary statements.”With the Scottish Government now in the process of handing over 14,000 WhatsApp messages to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, Mr Yousaf insisted his Government is “absolutely committed to being transparent, to being accountable”.
The row over the messages was sparked last week when Jamie Dawson KC, counsel to the UK inquiry, said “no messages” from within the Scottish Government had yet been provided.
