Commenting after the Conservatives voted with the Government to delay a Parliamentary statement from Nicola Sturgeon on her letter of support for a convicted fraudster, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip Mike Rumbles MSP said:
"It is unbelievable that at 12:30 the Conservatives were demanding a parliamentary statement, and at 2:30 they voted with the Government to delay it until a week on Wednesday.
"It is outrageous that MSPs are being denied the opportunity to question the Deputy First Minister on this serious matter, but I am pleased that eventually she will be called to account on the 24th February.
"It was the Liberal Democrats that forced a vote on this matter and we are hugely surprised at the Conservatives' behaviour."
