Scottish Health Secretary Admits Sons Caused £11,000 iPad Bill

Michael Matheson Faces Calls to Resign as He Agrees to Pay Full Amount After Initially Billing Taxpayers

Scotland's Health Secretary, Michael Matheson, has admitted that his teenage sons were responsible for an £11,000 data roaming charge on his parliamentary iPad during a family holiday in Morocco.
Matheson initially claimed the iPad was used solely for work purposes and agreed to pay £3,000 of the bill from his expenses, with the Scottish Parliament covering the rest.
After the real cause of the charges was revealed, Matheson has agreed to pay the full amount himself.
Opposition politicians have called for Matheson to resign, with the Scottish Conservatives threatening a vote of no confidence.
The Scottish Parliament is now reviewing its policies on mobile device use and data roaming charges.
