Scottish National Party (SNP) business convener Angela Constance says any use of “independence” cash is an internal party matter. Speaking publicly on the issue, Constance frames the question of how the SNP handles these funds as something that should be dealt with within the party itself rather than through external scrutiny.
According to reporting, Constance also points to the existence of oversight or investigation into the party’s finances. She says there has already been a police probe into SNP financial arrangements, implying that relevant questions are being addressed through established law-enforcement processes.
The outlets covering her comments present the same core message: Constance does not call for any change in the handling of the funds in response to the current discussion, and instead argues that the matter falls under internal governance and existing investigative activity.
Across the sources provided, no additional new details about the specific funds, the amounts involved, or the timeline of any probe are included beyond Constance’s characterisation of the issue as internal and the claim that police have already investigated.
