Anas Sarwar asks First Minister about misleading parliament<\/h3>\n

Humza Yousaf was skewered over his record of truth-telling during First Minister\u2019s Questions this afternoon, as Labour’s leader in Scotland tore into him over the latest allegations of failing to admit errors.<\/p>\n

The under-siege SNP leader was slammed by Anas Sarwar, who pointed out that \u201cin the short time Humza Yousaf has been First Minister, the record of this Parliament has had to be corrected three times because of wrong information he has told this chamber\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Once was in response to the serious issue of the Covid inquiry and deleted WhatsApp messages. Another was in response to me in this chamber when the First Minister gave an inaccurate answer about Scotland’s renewables.<\/p>\n

“But instead of immediately correcting the record, he took up hours of civil service time to try and spare his blushes… This is a Government that is running out of road, desperate to save their jobs and willing to say anything to cling on to power.”<\/p>\n

The First Minister\u2019s response sparked laughter and heckles in the Scottish Parliament, as instead of refuting the attack Mr Yousaf argued the Scottish public have voted for the SNP \u201ctime and time again\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a reason why Anas Sarwar and the Conservative Party sit here in opposition!\u201d<\/p>\n

After the Holyrood speaker intervened to calm down the chamber, Mr Yousaf concluded he wouldn\u2019t \u201ctake any lectures from Anas Sarwar about how you win an election!\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent days Mr Yousaf had to deny misleading parliament over Scotland\u2019s renewable energy capacity.<\/p>\n

In June 2022 he claimed Scotland had the majority of the UK\u2019s renewables.<\/p>\n

He dismissed suggestions that, rather than admit his inaccuracy, civil servants were directed to retrospectively create statistics to justify the falsehood.<\/p>\n

Three days ago, he said the matter was \u201cclosed\u201d.<\/p>\n
