Humza Yousaf has insisted he still plans to roll out body-worn cameras to police in Scotland
Tory leader, Douglas Ross, challenged Yousaf on the planned roll-out of the"vital" equipment after a senior official from the force told MSPs it cannot guarantee it will take place next year.
Ross told Holyrood that a £300 million"black hole" in the force's capital budget is the reason for the uncertainty.As First Minister will he let police officers down again?"He told MSPs:"The facts remain that the Scottish Government has not only increased the budget for Police Scotland, the plans are to roll out our national body-worn video cameras for our police officers.
The First Minister said this is despite Westminster cutting the Scottish Government's capital budget by more than 6.5%.
