Opposition politicians suggested there were “grounds” for a judge-led inquiry into the Salmond affair, with Scottish Labour saying that public opinion on the issue should be taken into consideration. In total, 46 per cent of Scots want to see a judge-led inquiry into the scandal, with a third (30 per cent) content for it to be in the hands of Holyrood. A quarter of Scots (24 per cent) responded don’t know. The figures come from a Savanta ComRes poll for The Scotsman where 1,009 Scottish adults were interviewed online between March 5 and 10. Preferences for a judicial review are split down party lines. However, a significant minority of SNP voters in 2016 back the proposal.
