Sarwar vows to release Sturgeon inquiry files

On Monday, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar pledged to publish the Salmond files if he becomes first minister, promising to end secrecy and implement open government reforms.
David Hamilton ruled the government wrongly withheld inquiry material and ordered ministers to release some evidence by January 15, warning he would refer the matter to the Court of Session by January 22, 2026.
The Scottish Government has lodged an appeal at the Court of Session, spending taxpayer legal costs of �73,024 opposing the information commissioner and �630,773 on the Salmond judicial review.
Calling for a probe, Sarwar urged criminal investigations into senior managers at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and former ministers including Nicola Sturgeon, saying secrecy wastes public money.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde accepted a likely causal link between infections and the hospital water system, which left two children dead and at least 84 ill.
