Nicola Sturgeon accused of misleading parliament over Alex Salmond

Holyrood committee highly critical of Scottish first minister's accounts of meeting with former mentor

Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of misleading the Scottish parliament over her dealings with Alex Salmond, but not knowingly, in a highly critical report by MSPs.

A specially convened Holyrood committee voted by a 5-4 margin to find the first minister had misled parliament over her accounts of a meeting with Salmond, her former mentor, in April 2018.
