Description

Education Secretary Angela Constance faces no investigation over accusations of misleading parliament about Professor Alexis Jays views on grooming gang inquiries. Despite opposition calls for her resignation, Constance is expected to survive a vote of no confidence. The controversy stems from Constances statement that Professor Jay did not support further inquiries, which was later clarified as specific to England and Wales. Meanwhile, five education committee members object to their chairs handling of the situation, accusing him of political gain. The Scottish government announces a national review of grooming gangs, led by Professor Jay.
