And what did you do about it?
We explained how the 600...
Remember, at that point, this was not a question about somebody embezzling funds.
So I didn't do anything about that because that wasn't raised at that point.
What we did at that point was spend significant time, and there was a communication issued, I don't know if it was the one you referred to, by the National Treasurer at the time, explaining how the £600,000 was handled within the party's accounts, that it was all coded as being money.
for the independence referendum and it was used on a cash flow basis.
So we did take steps to try to explain exactly what the answers were to those concerns.
The other point about those comments that I made back in I think March 2021, at that point I was frustrated that there were some people who were on the National Executive Committee
who were also leaking things to the press.
And actually the point I was making that day was that the National Executive Committee had a job to do to make sure it was satisfied about the party's accounts.
People with concerns about finances in your party went to the press
because they didn't think that you and your estranged husband were being transparent about what was going on.
There is a pattern of a series of different people raising red flags about concerns in the party's finances.
And you, at that point, didn't give them the answers that they were seeking.
The concerns that were being raised were about the management within the party's accounts of the £600,000.
Nobody...
nobody and I want to be very clear and we did take steps to reassure people and the National Treasurer because it was the National Treasurer that was responsible for doing this and did that.
Steps were taken to explain and reassure people how that money was being accounted for.
Your party accused people raising concerns of circulating conspiracy theories.
were accusations being made at the time that we didn't really want an independence referendum that would raise this money on false pretences.
