" And did they continue after The Event ? Because that's deletion of material. "

Deputy First Minister Shona Robison said: " The Scottish Government records management policy makes clear what must be recorded in the official record, given that it isn't practical, cost-effective or necessary for any organisation to retain every exchange.
