Watch: FM says he won’t back sanctions against Matheson
First Minister John Swinney has told BBC Scotland he won’t back sanctions against the former health secretary Michael Matheson for breaching Parliament’s expenses policy.
That’s despite his party’s position being to support the punishment handed out by Parliament’s standards committee.
“Michael Matheson should not resign as a member of the Scottish Parliament,” Mr Swinney said. “I think the integrity of the Scottish Parliament has been damaged by the way this process has been handled.”
The SNP is seeking to amend the motion to express concerns about the complaints process, arguing it was open to bias and prejudice.
However, there’s now confusion about whether the party leader will vote differently to the rest of his MSPs.
