Swinney 'horrified' by hidden camera in Holyrood claims
South Wales Evening Post
|September 02, 2025
SCOTLAND'S First Minister John Swinney said he was “absolutely horrified” by reports alleging a hidden camera had been placed in the toilets at the Scottish Parliament.
-
The SNP leader said he was “extremely concerned” about the implications for those using the Holyrood building, including MSPs, staff and journalists.
His comments came after MSP Colin Smyth denied allegations he had placed a secret camera in toilets in the building.
The South Scotland MSP was arrested on Tuesday, August 5 and charged with a separate offence of possession of indecent images, prompting his suspension from Scottish Labour.
His Holyrood pass was deactivated on Thursday, effectively preventing him from accessing the building.
