Health secretary of Scotland fights calls to resign after £11,000 iPad roaming bill

Michael Matheson apologises after initially charging bill to Holyrood and failing to say parliamentary tablet was used as data hotspot by sons

Michael Matheson, Scotland's embattled health secretary, has apologised unreservedly" after admitting he failed to properly disclose that his sons had largely run up an 11,000 iPad bill which he had initially charged in full to taxpayers.

In a personal statement to MSPs on Thursday, Matheson said he had referred himself for possible investigation by parliament for breaching its code of conduct, as he fought against mounting calls to resign from opposition leaders.
