Shona Robison insists SNP 'must get house in order' as party rocked by second arrest
The SNP must “absolutely get our house in order” and ensure transparency and openness in the party’s governance, Shona Robison has said.
SNP treasurer Colin Beattie was arrested yesterday and later released without charge “pending further investigation”. Asked whether the party is concerned that former first minister Nicola Sturgeon might be arrested she declined to comment on speculation.“We need to wait for the facts to be established, whether that’s through the ongoing police investigation and of course the review about how the party is managed.
Robison continued: "On the decisive action it is absolutely critical, Kate Forbes is right and that’s why of course Humza Yousaf has taken that decisive action by talking about that need for a fresh approach to governance within the party.”
