Nicola Sturgeon will not visit the Scottish Parliament in person this week and will instead contribute to proceedings remotely
.
Sturgeon came in for even greater scrutiny after the home she shares with her husband and former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell was searched earlier this month by police as part of a long-running investigation into SNP finances. Her spokesman said: "To ensure the focus of this week is on the new First Minister setting out his priorities for the people of Scotland, Ms Sturgeon has always intended to participate remotely and intends to return to Holyrood in the near future."
It comes as some question whether the ex-FM can remain in the party after video footage emerged of her urging party members to be "very careful" when discussing SNP finances.
