Nicola Sturgeon told she is in 'witness box, not soap box'; scientist gives warning on future pandemics | COVID inquiry latest
Is it a source of regret that the UK's pandemic preparedness strategy was not updated as resources were diverted to Brexit, John Swinney is asked.
"Life was always pretty hectic, to be honest, in all of the ministerial responsibilities that I carried out, but I did feel I had adequate opportunity to provide strategic leadership," he says. A representative of Scottish Covid Bereaved Families for Justice has been granted permission to question Nicola Sturgeon.
Hugo Keith KC, lead counsel to the inquiry, asks whether the Scottish cabinet debated if that was an appropriate decision. Nicola Sturgeon says it was"never the case" that the Scottish government accepted the"worst-case scenario was going to unfold"."The extent to which we were still seeking to suppress as opposed to live with the virus" went on to become a source of difference between the Scottish and UK governments, she said.
