EXCLUSIVE: Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain’s seat at the top political table has been branded “conflicting” and calls have been made for her role to be broken up
The head of the prosecution service has attended forty Cabinet meetings during a police investigation into SNP finances.
Bain, who took up her post as Lord Advocate after the 2021 Holyrood election, is head of the Crown Office as well as being a minister and chief legal officer in the Government. Police asked the Crown Office for a search warrant for Nicola Sturgeon’s home during the SNP leadership race in March, but only got approval after the contest ended.
"The current role increasingly feels like an anachronism. An independent director of prosecutions would go some way to ending the perception of conflicting loyalties that the current set up seems to invite."
