The police were looking into the SNP finances.
Forgive me, Nicola Sturgeon, people quit because of concerns over finances.
And then you told the party's ruling committee in March, there is no reason for people to be concerned.
All of us need to be careful about suggesting that there is.
You later then said in June 2021, money hasn't gone missing.
The party then released a statement about people who quit over finances, claiming it was part of an ongoing dirty tricks campaign.
Again, can I just take these things in turn?
Because I understand why people look at that and look at what happened on Monday and draw that connection.
Until probably early 2023...
There was no suggestion that what was being looked into in terms of the finances was potential embezzlement.
The issue that was being looked into was whether the £600,000 that had been raised to fund a second independence referendum had been used for election campaigning.
And my comments were saying that the £600,000, although it didn't sit in a separate bank account, was there and realisable for a referendum campaign when that happened.
That's what my comments were about, that the party's underlying financial health was good and strong, and it was.
And the evidence for that is that, as I said earlier on, these snap elections, we were able to realise money to fight those elections.
But the point here is... No, no, can I finish my point?
And people were raising concerns in that context.
The idea that I tried to stop them is not true.
What did you do then?
When people raised concerns, what did you do?
These things were discussed at the National Executive Committee.
