| Description | Nicola Sturgeon is facing intense pressure to refer herself to Scotland’s ethics watchdog for potentially breaking ministerial rules over the Alex Salmond sexual harassment allegations.
Richard Leonard, the Scottish Labour leader, accused her of breaching the ministerial code after Sturgeon admitted she had taken more than two months to tell civil servants she was being lobbied by Salmond over the inquiry, and discussed the case five times with him.
Leonard told her: “First minister, that was a grave error of judgment but it was also a clear potential breach of the ministerial code of conduct.
“After the events of this week, people need to have trust and confidence in the system and that’s why the first minister herself should back a full parliamentary inquiry.” |
