Nicola Strugeon has waded into the row over the publication of the Sue Gray report into the Downing Street partygate scandal.
The First Minister said the wrangling between the Met Police and the senior civil servant over which details should be published was creating “suspicion” that the process was helping Boris Johnson escape accountability.
The SNP leader spoke out after Scotland Yard made a request that Sue Gray make “minimal reference” to the Downing Street parties they are investigating when she hands over her report.
