苏格兰政府错误地隐瞒了 2021年对尼古拉・斯托金的 调查中的证据 Scotland's government wrongly withheld evidence from a 2021 probe into Nicola Sturgeon, an official ruling found.

苏格兰信息专员大卫·汉密尔顿(David Hamilton)于2025年11月27日裁定, 苏格兰政府错误地从信息自由请求中扣留了一些证据, The Scottish Information Commissioner, David Hamilton, ruled on November 27, 2025, that the Scottish Government wrongfully withheld some evidence from a freedom of information request about the 2021 probe into whether former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon breached the ministerial code in handling harassment allegations against Alex Salmond. 专员发现政府曲解了这项请求,并错误地适用了豁免,称尽管没有证据表明有错失行为,但这次失败“尤其令人失望”。 The commissioner found the government misinterpreted the request and improperly applied exemptions, calling the failure “particularly disappointing” despite no evidence of wrongdoing. 虽然这次没有采取任何强制执行行动,但这项裁决要求政府在法院先前驳回其论点之后,重新考虑不提供进一步文件的问题。 While no enforcement action was taken this time, the ruling requires the government to reconsider withholding further documents, following a prior court rejection of its arguments. 独立MSP Fergus Ewing敦促全面披露,包括关于据称公务员不当行为的材料。 Independent MSP Fergus Ewing urged full disclosure, including materials on alleged civil servant misconduct.
