The Lord Advocate:

I am surprised at Mr Martin's comments. Clearly, the information that I have been given has been provided by the lawyers who were in court. I expect that I have been given an impeccable and accurate account of that from the Crown junior and the chief inspector who were present in court.

Clearly, the information that I have given to the Parliament today has been gathered over a number of days. We will have a much more thorough look at the matter. Clearly, I would return to the Parliament if something were discovered that was in any way inconsistent with the position that I have represented to the Parliament today.
