The Scottish Information Commissioner has criticised SNP ministers for trying to stop the legal advice they received from being released.
The SNP Government has been blasted for fighting a Freedom of Information request into Nicola Sturgeon 's conduct during the Alex Salmond inquiry.
But FOI request was submitted seeking the legal advice surrounding the decision to appeal and the commissioner again ordered the Government to publish the documents. In a new letter, the Information Commissioner, David Hamilton, has criticised the Government’s handling of the case, with a focus on the media statement released alongside the 100 pages of documents.
