This is the most telling part of the Green motion backed by the SNP to avoid an inquiry into Peter Murrell.
Holyrood doesn't actually have the power to turn the recommendations of their proposed review into law.
It's an impotent sideshow.
Democracy in action, folks
Breaking:
Douglas Alexander has admitted that he asked Lord Mandelson to name a 'trade policy expert' who could assist him when he was minister of trade and security
Mandelson at the time was chairman of Global Counsel, the lobbying company he founded. Mandelson recommended a former official from the European Commission who now worked at... Global Counsel
Alexander met the indiviudal on 31st July, 2024. He says that the meeting covered global trade policy and there was 'no discussoin of named businesses or of any ongoing role for Global Counsel'
But the meeting was not publicly declared. Alexander says he delegated responsibility for this to his officials who did not do so.
We only know of the meeting because it came up in the Humble Address. Otherwise the only record of it would have remained buried in the bowels of Whitehall somewhere
Keir Starmer says that while the 'administrative oversight was regrettable', Alexander has acted 'appropriately' in flagging the issue. 'I consider no further action to be needed'
This is what @JohnSwinney said to me & Dean Lockhart in 2022 when we went to Seville for the Europa League final. I’m sure as a man of integrity he’s not a shameless hypocrite so there is a credible explanation for this latest development?
