Lorna Slater, the minister for the circular economy, also denied using WhatsApp for any government business.

It emerged today that WhatsApp messages sent by Nicola Sturgeon from the time of the public health emergency may have been manually deleted. "Personal business, sometimes party business, volunteering work that I do, chatting with my friends, and sharing silly memes - all that stuff.Slater joined the Scottish Government as a minister in August 2021 following the Bute House Agreement between the Greens and SNP.

Asked if she used auto-deletion on WhatsApp, Slater continued: "I don't have a government phone, my phone is for my personal use, and there has been no advice on that, as it is not for government business." "Lorna Slater must come clean on whether she is using her personal phone for any government business and if all transparency rules are being followed."
