Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints
2020-21 inquiry
Summary
The Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints was a Committee of the Scottish Parliament set up to investigate the Alex Salmond sexual harassment scandal, in which the Scottish Government breached its own guidelines in its original investigation into claims of sexual harassment by former First Minister Alex Salmond. This led to the loss of a judicial review into their actions and damages of over £500,000 of public money being paid to Salmond. The Committee met from 2020 to 2021 and published its final report on 23 March 2021. Prior to publication, it leaked that the Committee concluded that First Minister Nicola Sturgeon misled them in her evidence.
