Current status: Answered by Angela Constance on 6 June 2024
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-27228 by Angela Constance on 17 May 2024, whether it will provide the information requested regarding the details of any communications that it has had with the (a) Lord President of the Court of Session and (b) Judicial Office for Scotland regarding a public inquiry into criminal prosecutions relating to the takeover of Rangers FC, since the Scottish Government announced in February 2021 that it was committed to such an inquiry, and for what reason it did not provide this information in its answer.
In response to S6W-27228, I indicated necessary engagement in relation to the inquiry will be undertaken once all legal proceedings associated with the malicious prosecutions are concluded. Not all legal proceedings are concluded. When it is undertaken, this engagement will include communication with the Lord President of the Court of Session in respect of judicial involvement in the inquiry.
