Whether any of the First Minister’s official spokespersons are involved in any way in statements that he makes in connection with the 2010 …

During the 2010 UK General Election campaign all Scottish Government civil servants are bound by guidance on their role and conduct during the election period (the date between the commencement of the campaign period and the election). The full guidance can be found at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2010/04/UKElectionGuidance.
In line with this guidance, no civil servant is involved in statements relating to the party political aspects of the election. A civil servant could be involved if the First Minister were commenting on the impact on Scottish Government responsibilities of proposals made by participants in the election.
