Humza knew truth about Michael Matheson iPad day before this statement backing his Health Secretary

It now appears that Michael Mathewson told Humza Yousaf the truth about his iPad the day before the First Minister made this statement.

Mr Yousaf clearly says ‘The matter is now closed’ even though he knew the truth about Mr Matheson’s lies on Tuesday and still peddled the ‘outdated SIM card line’ the following day.

Mr Yousaf has backed his under-fire Health Secretary, who is facing a threatened vote of no confidence after accruing a bill of almost £11,000 while using his Holyrood iPad on a foreign holiday.

Asked if the row is distracting the Health Secretary as the NHS faces another challenging winter, Mr Yousaf told the PA news agency: “Michael isn’t distracted, that is the entire point.”

He said he had spoken to Mr Matheson “at length” during Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting about the NHS.

“It is an issue he is entirely focused on,” Mr Yousaf said.

“For me, the matter is now closed. He has agreed to pay back every single penny of that expense, even though the Parliament wasn’t asking him to do so.”

Mr Matheson was using an outdated Sim card in his iPad at the time, and Mr Yousaf said he had agreed to pay the money back “given the honest mistake he has made in relation to the updating of the Sim card”.

The First Minister added: “To me, that is a line drawn under the matter.”
