Calls for transparency in Salmond investigation

Labour and the Conservatives have called for “full transparency” from the Scottish government over the investigation of sexual harassment allegations against Alex Salmond.

The Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour have urged the SNP to release more information surrounding two complaints against the former first minister.

Mr Salmond denies the allegations, which were raised in January, and has launched legal action against the government over the inquiries.

The claims about his conduct towards two staff members in 2013, while he was in office, have been handed to Police Scotland.
