Counsel to UK Covid-19 inquiry intervenes after failure to disclose or possibly retain messaging app texts
The Scottish government has been ordered to release all its WhatsApp messages from during the coronavirus pandemic after it failed to disclose them to the UK Covid inquiry.
The inquiry heard on Thursday that none of the private messages written during the Covid crisis by Nicola Sturgeon, who was then first minister, or by her health and finance ministers, had been disclosed despite repeated requests dating to 2022.
