Feb 2021. Salmond Sturgeon and Scotland Part 12

John Swinney is being given a 24 hour deadline to release the government’s legal advice on the Alex Salmond case or face a vote of no confidence in him as Deputy First Minister. The Scottish Conservatives are threatening to lodge a motion of no confidence in Nicola Sturgeon's second in command at Holyrood on Tuesday. The Tories are giving Swinney 24 hours to agree to release the legal advice or face a vote to remove him from office. The Deputy First Minister has previously ignored two cross-party motions in the Scottish Parliament attempting to force the government to comply with a parliamentary majority telling it to publish the advice. The committee investigating the Scottish government’s handling of harassment complaints against former leader, Alex Salmond is renewing a demand for the documents, after hearing the former First Minister’s explosive evidence last Friday.
