Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the decision of the Lord Advocate to instruct the police to investigate the Scottish Prison Service for corporate homicide, whether it will hand over to Police Scotland all correspondence, transcripts, notes of meetings and all other communications with ministers, their officials and the Scottish Prison Service to assist with this investigation.
Answer
My deepest thoughts and condolences remain with the family of Allan Marshall. There is now a live police investigation and it would be inappropriate for the Scottish Government to comment on that investigation. The Scottish Government will cooperate with any investigation undertaken by Police Scotland.
