The Scottish Parliament has been urged to provide a timetable for when its report into Michael Matheson will be published, and to allow time for a debate on it. And Holyrood officials have also been told to come clean about whether the health secretary will be given advance sight of it, and be able to suggest edits. We previously told how the SNP minister's £11k data roaming bill will be the subject of a sleaze probe into the potentially dodgy expenses claim. Mr Matheson initially claimed the huge bill, which was racked up on a festive holiday to Morocco, was solely due to parliamentary work. “I’m also seeking a guarantee that the parliament publish all its correspondence with Michael Matheson over his outrageous expense claim – because it’s clear that he won’t."
