It has been two weeks since the First Minister ordered an investigation, but we are still waiting to hear the outcome. The First Minister doesn’t seem to understand just how serious this matter is.

This report must be published immediately, and the First Minister must make himself accountable to Assembly Members without delay. If the First Minister insists on being judge, jury and executioner over the conduct of his Ministers then he should be dealing with this in an open and transparent way.

Nothing less than a full publication of the report and a statement in the Chamber will do.
