Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf says he sees 'no reason' to suspend Nicola Sturgeon from SNP
Her arrest follows that of her husband and former party chief executive, Peter Murrell, and the party's ex-treasurer Colin Beattie.Mr Yousaf said the news of his predecessor's arrest was "personally painful".
Mr Murrell had quit as chief executive in March after taking responsibility for misleading the media about party membership numbers. Asked if Ms Sturgeon should resign the whip, Mr Yousaf said: "There's no pressure on her to do so from the party or from me as leader of the SNP."
