Calls for investigation into SNP minister’s meal with Greensill 11/04/2021, 11:44 am Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing has ‘serious explaining to do’ about an allegedly unrecorded meeting with businessmen, Scottish Labour has said (Fraser Bremner/Scottish Daily Mail/PA) An SNP minister’s unrecorded dinner with banker Lex Greensill and steel billionaire Sanjeev Gupta has sparked calls for an investigation into whether he broke the ministerial code. Fergus Ewing, Rural Economy Secretary in the Scottish Government, dined with the pair and two of their senior colleagues at one of Glasgow’s top restaurants in 2017. But a Freedom of Information request (FOI) by the Sunday Mail has revealed that the minister had no officials with him, no notes were taken, and the Government claims to have no emails, texts or phone records about the meeting.
