Nicola Sturgeon free to answer questions on SNP finances investigation, says ex-police union boss
Nicola Sturgeon is free to answer questions from the media on an investigation into SNP finances, a former police union boss has claimed.
But Calum Steele, the former head of the Scottish Police Federation, said there was "no legal prohibition on the former first minister answering questions on what she knew and when". Detectives are examining how hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of donations to the SNP have been spent. "The arrests of Peter Murrell and Colin Beattie provoked a predictable chorus that the matter was active as far as the Contempt of Court Act 1981 was concerned and that caution should be exercised in discussing the events in the public arena," Steele wrote in The Times.
