Jackie Baillie: “I'm delighted for him that he'll be in the House of Lords, that he'll be a minister in the UK Government.”

This is about, as far as the Government and the SNP are concerned, sweeping things under the carpet, nothing to see here, we have just to trust them.

Too often the SNP operates under a cloak of secrecy.

You can hold both positions at the same, but in order to serve in Government he is required to enter the House of Lords.

John Swinney and the SNP need to stop running scared and come clean about these allegations and back a full financial audit of the accounts.
