Salmond had said Sturgeon misled parliament over when she first heard about complaints against him
The Scottish National party’s Westminster leader, Ian Blackford, has said Nicola Sturgeon “acted in an honourable way” after former colleague Alex Salmond reportedly claimed she breached the ministerial code by misleading the Scottish parliament.
Former first minister Salmond’s submissions to an inquiry into sexual assault claims against him have been obtained by national newspapers, in which he claims Sturgeon’s evidence over when she knew about the allegations was “simply untrue”.
