Reported Evidence of Police Links with Blacklisting Agency

The motion

That the Parliament expresses deep concern at reports in The Guardian, which, it understands, expose links between the police and an agency that is believed to be associated with blacklisting, the Consulting Association; notes that, if these are accurate, the reports suggest that the police spied on people who were involved in lawful political activities and that information gathered was then passed to the Consulting Association; believes that such a development adds a new dimension to what it sees as the blacklisting scandal, and considers that there is a pressing need for a Levenson-style investigation into all of the facts relating to blacklisting activities across Scotland and the rest of the UK.
