Patrick Grady
NICOLA Sturgeon has admitted she was aware of concerns about the SNP's chief whip in Westminster before a formal sexual harassment complaint was made against him.
The First Minister said she would not say any more to allow a party investigation into Patrick Grady to take its course.
Mr Grady, the MP for Glasgow North, stepped aside as chief whip last week after a formal allegation was made by a male party staffer.
It was reported over the weekend that Alex Salmond had warned Ms Sturgeon about claims relating to Mr Grady at the same April 2 2018 meeting that he first disclosed details of the sexual harassment investigation into himself.
