Question
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will publish all correspondence between Michael Matheson and SPCB staff regarding his expenses claim for roaming charges in Morocco.
Answer
The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body announced on 23 November that it will undertake an investigation in line with its duties under the MSP code of conduct.
As stated then, in the interests of fairness to all, and to avoid prejudicing our investigation, the Corporate Body will not comment on any matters that could have a bearing on the process. It is important to stress, however, that the Corporate Body remains wholly committed to openness and transparency and will release all material that it can, when it can, in line with its legal obligations.
