Read our privacy policy The SNP still owes money to Nicola Sturgeon’s husband, her successor Humza Yousaf has confirmed. Mr Murrell, the SNP’s former chief executive, quit the post last month and was arrested weeks later amid a probe into the party’s finances. But the first minister told reporters: “I think there is money still absolutely outstanding to Peter Murrell.” He said he would lay out details of how much is owed after a review into the party’s governance takes place. Opposition politicians hit out at the first minister, with Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie saying Mr Beattie’s decision to resign was the “right thing” but it was taken “by the wrong man”.
