Approach to the Committee’s Inquiry

During the private session, the committee considered briefings on the legal context in which the inquiry is operating, the ministerial code and the Scottish Government’s harassment procedures.

We expect a comprehensive response from the Scottish Government shortly to our letter of 26 February, which set out our expectation of the Government’s full co-operation in the gathering and production of evidence relevant to the inquiry. At our next meeting, which is on 28 March, we expect to fully consider and discuss the response from the Government.

I thank everyone for attending.
