Part of 2. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 14 November 2017.
Is it fair to say, though, First Minister, that these allegations were raised with you at the time? Because both individuals—senior individuals within the Government—are categorical in their allegations that they were raised on numerous occasions with you, not just on one-off occasions, but they were raised on numerous occasions with you, and indeed that they were levelled at your office, they were. They weren't levelled at the wider Government structure—they were levelled at the office of the First Minister. So, can you confirm that, unlike the answer you gave Darren Millar back in 2014, these allegations were raised with you and that you did investigate them at that time? And, as I said, if they do stack up, will you commit to referring them to an independent person so that they can be looked into and, actually, these actions addressed?
