Question

To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has had with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service regarding any investigations into the Park Inn tragedy of 26 June 2020, in Glasgow.


Answer

The Lord Advocate is constitutionally responsible for the investigation of sudden, unexpected and suspicious deaths in Scotland. These functions are exercised independently of government. It would therefore be inappropriate for Scottish Government to have any discussions with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) regarding the nature of its ongoing investigations.
