First minister was due to attend committee on Scottish government’s handling of allegations against predecessor
The Holyrood committee investigating the Scottish government’s handling of sexual harassment allegations against Alex Salmond has postponed Nicola Sturgeon’s appearance before it in an attempt to break the deadlock over the former first minister’s evidence.
The committee reached crisis point earlier this week after it voted narrowly against publishing evidence that Salmond says is an essential part of his case alleging that Sturgeon broke the ministerial code, resulting in the former first minister refusing to attend in person.
