The question

To ask the Scottish Government whether any documents were prepared in connection with the handover between the outgoing and incoming Lord Advocate in 2026 and, if so, whether these documents will be published.

The answer

Answered by Ruth Charteris on 11 Nov 2026 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

There were no documents produced in connection with a handover between the outgoing and incoming Lord Advocates in 2026. Nor was there any handover meeting. The Scottish Government does not therefore hold relevant documents for publication.
