Jan 2021. Will Alex Salmond Appear at the Inquiry

Alex Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon of misleading parliament, calling evidence she gave to an inquiry into the handling of sexual harassment claims against him "simply untrue". Mr Salmond's comments emerged in a written submission to a separate investigation into whether the first minister breached the ministerial code. The submission has been shared with the Holyrood committee. Ms Sturgeon says she "entirely rejects Mr Salmond's claims". In the submission, the former first minister said that Ms Sturgeon had misled parliament and broken the ministerial code with breaches including failing to inform the civil service in good time of her meetings with him.
