Neil Gray, a Cabinet ally of the First Minister, said he expected the deadline for the messages would be met.
A Cabinet Secretary has said he “fully expects” the Scottish Government to hand over 14,000 WhatsApp messages to the UK Covid inquiry today.
The announcement followed Jamie Dawson KC, counsel to the UK inquiry, saying “no messages” from within the Scottish Government had yet been provided. “We’re fully confident in the information that we will be handing over and it will be up to the inquiry, both inquiries, to disseminate the information in the way they see fit.”
He added: “The First Minister gave a commitment last week that we would meet the deadline by today and I fully expect that to happen.
