Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon did not break a ministerial code of conduct in her handling of sexual harassment complaints against her predecessor Alex Salmond, an independent inquiry concluded on Monday.
However, she is still expected to face a vote of no confidence on Tuesday.
The investigation by James Hamilton had been examining whether Scotland’s first minister “attempted to influence the conduct of the investigation” into Alex Salmond and if she misled parliament.
He also looked into whether she should have recorded calls and meetings with Mr Salmond and may have considered whether she prolonged the Government’s defence of a judicial review brought by her predecessor, contrary to the legal advice.
Mr Hamilton, Ireland’s former director of public prosecutions, is the independent advisor to the Scottish government on the ministerial code — a set of rules about how ministers should conduct themselves.
The current first minister referred herself to him following Mr Salmond’s successful legal challenge of the Scottish Government’s unlawful investigation into harassment complaints against him, which led to him being awarded £512,250 for legal costs.
Mr Hamilton was originally asked to investigate allegations that Ms Sturgeon “failed to feed back the basic facts of meetings and discussions held with Alex Salmond to her private office as required by sections 4.22 and 4.23 of the code”.
Ms Sturgeon, who denies breaching the code, has previously promised the report would be published on the day the government received it.
On Monday afternoon, Mr Hamilton concluded there was no breach of the code.
Mr Hamilton’s investigation was paused in early 2019 to avoid prejudicing criminal proceedings brought against Mr Salmond.
He was acquitted of 13 charges, including sexual assault, indecent assault and attempted rape, in March 2020 following a High Court trial and Mr Hamilton’s inquiry was delayed again by the pandemic, before resuming in August 2020.
The code says it is the first minister who is “the ultimate judge of the standards of behaviour expected of a minister” and the appropriate consequences for breaches.
Speaking outside her Glasgow home on Monday morning, Ms Sturgeon said: “I’m going to do what I’ve done every day for the last year — lead the country through a pandemic.” - PA
