Scottish Health Secretary Faces Scrutiny Over £11,000 iPad Bill

Opposition Parties Demand Thorough Investigation and Statement to Holyrood

Scottish Health Secretary Michael Matheson is facing scrutiny and a potential no-confidence vote over an £11,000 data roaming bill incurred on his parliament-issued iPad while on holiday in Morocco.
Matheson initially agreed to pay £3,000 from his own expense budget, with the rest covered by the Scottish Parliament, but following public outcry, he agreed to pay the full amount.
Matheson insists the data use was for parliamentary business, but it has emerged that the browsing history on the iPad was not checked.
Opposition parties, including the Scottish Tories, are calling for Matheson to hand over the iPad to IT experts for a thorough investigation and to make a statement to Holyrood.
Despite the controversy, a motion of no confidence in Matheson is unlikely to pass due to the SNP-Green coalition government's majority.
