Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 5

Another odd part of these proceedings is the legal approach taken by James Wolffe, the Lord Advocate. He has appeared in front of the Committee and made the assertion that for anyone to produce the documentary productions (originals or copies) from Salmond’s criminal trial would amount to a crime and they would be prosecuted for so doing. Salmond says he must have some of these documents in order to give his evidence. That’s why he has been slow to appear before the Committee. Most lawyers assert they have never heard of such a rule of law. The criminal trial is completed and can’t be reopened. What possible crime can be committed by a legitimately constituted Parliamentary inquiry seeing these documents, which on any view, not just Salmond’s, must be pertinent to the work of the Committee?
