Holyrood inquiry session with Salmond called off

Alex Salmond will not appear at the Holyrood inquiry on the government's handling of harassment complaints on Tuesday as had been planned.

The former first minister is locked in a dispute with the committee over what material can be published.

A spokeswoman for the parliament said Mr Salmond had "raised a number of issues for clarification, and that Tuesday's session would not go ahead.

She said the committee would continue to have talks with his representatives.

MSPs took more evidence from SNP chief executive Peter Murrell on Monday morning, and will discuss the issue of Mr Salmond's appearance afterwards.

Some members had called for an emergency meeting of the committee on Friday, with Lib Dem MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton saying the group was "in crisis".

• Did Nicola Sturgeon break the ministerial code?
• Could Alex Salmond bring down Nicola Sturgeon?

The inquiry was set up to examine what went wrong with the government's investigation of two internal harassment complaints against Mr Salmond.

The government conceded its process had been "unlawful" and agreed to pay the former SNP leader £500,000 in expenses after he launched a judicial review action in the courts.

The committee had originally hoped to take evidence from Mr Salmond in December, but had failed to agree a date amid a long-running dispute over whether they could obtain certain evidence from the Crown Office and whether they would publish all of his submissions.

The issue seemed to have been settled after MSPs accepted an offer from Mr Salmond to appear this week, with his successor Nicola Sturgeon due to give evidence a week later.

However, the session has now been put off again after the parliament refused to publish a submission Mr Salmond made to a separate investigation into whether or not Ms Sturgeon broke the ministerial code in her dealings with him.

In it, Mr Salmond claimed Ms Sturgeon repeatedly misled parliament and gave evidence to the committee which was "simply untrue". These are claims Ms Sturgeon said she "entirely rejects".

Parliamentary officials do not want to publish the submission in full, and now say a redacted version could not be published as the document had been posted in full elsewhere online.

The spokeswoman said Mr Salmond had not confirmed his appearance on Tuesday, and had "raised a number of issues for clarification" meaning the meeting could not go ahead.

She said: "Mr Salmond had been contacted to make it clear that he can speak freely in committee about all of his contact with Nicola Sturgeon and his views on her actions.

"He was given the opportunity to make a lengthy opening statement on Tuesday and would have had four hours to answer questions in public. He was also invited to send more written evidence for publication after the meeting.

"The committee has already published two lengthy submissions from Mr Salmond and many, many pages of records and documents from him that he has been invited to speak freely about in parliament on Tuesday. All of this written and oral evidence could then be reflected in the committee's report.

"The committee continues to communicate with Mr Salmond's representatives."
