The lawyer for families who've lost loved ones to the virus is urging the First Minister to explain his comments.
Humza Yousaf is facing angry demands to explain why he told the UK Covid inquiry his WhatsApp messages had been deleted. The Sunday Mail revealed the First Minister, former FM Nicola Sturgeon and ex-deputy FM John Swinney had told the probe their messages hadn’t been retained and could not be supplied.
In a furious letter to the FM, he stated: “You have failed to illuminate why your government told the UK inquiry that the majority of WhatsApps messages for members of Scottish Government were not retained. “Will you confirm that the National Clinical Director Jason Leitch and the Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have deleted their WhatsApps - there is no requirement for confidentiality to be attached to such disclosure.”

“The Scottish Government’s continued failure to provide clarity, constant changing timelines and excuses combined with the redundant excuse of ‘confidentiality’ inflames a belief that you are obstructing the search for truth.”
