Summary
The Scottish Government is locked in a legal showdown with the Information Commissioner over releasing documents tied to the Alex Salmond harassment probe, claiming court orders protect accuser identities — but the Commissioner insists he can safely release them without exposing anyone. The government argues the courts, not the Commissioner, should decide what’s hidden, risking contempt charges if they follow his orders — while the Commissioner counters that Parliament gave him final authority, and compliance would actually shield them from legal trouble. This high-stakes battle over transparency and power heads to court next month. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
