A Scottish Green amendment to a call for an inquiry into allegations involving former First Minister adviser Peter Murrell is criticized by Scottish Labour MSP Sarah Baillie. Baillie describes the Green amendment as a “smokescreen,” arguing that it distracts from the substance of the original demand for scrutiny into Murrell’s role and the issues prompting the inquiry call. The vote on the amendment takes place at the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood, on Wednesday evening, with discussion focused on how the inquiry should proceed and what it should cover. The reporting centers on Baillie’s characterization of the amendment and the political debate around whether it advances accountability or shifts attention. Other details of the amendment’s specific wording, the arguments made by Green MSPs, and any final vote outcome are not provided in the excerpts. Overall, the accounts agree that the issue is decided through a Holyrood vote and that Baillie publicly frames the Green amendment as obstructing or diverting progress toward an inquiry.
