Mr Mackay, who came out as gay in 2013, said: ‘I take full responsibility for my actions. I have behaved foolishly and I am truly sorry.
‘I apologise unreservedly to the individual involved and his family. I spoke last night with the First Minister and tendered my resignation with immediate effect. ‘Serving in Government has been a huge privilege and I am sorry to have let colleagues and supporters down.’Ms Sturgeon said: ‘Derek has taken full responsibility for his actions and apologises unreservedly for them to the individual involved and to those he has let down.
‘He has submitted his resignation as a government minister, which I have accepted. Derek has made a significant contribution to government, however he recognises that his behaviour has failed to meet the standards required. ‘The minister for public finance, Kate Forbes, will present today’s Scottish Government budget setting out our actions to support the economy, back our people and public services, and tackle the climate crisis, and that remains my government’s focus.’Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
