📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Reading this letter is a moment in my life I will never forget.
And although he denied the allegations, he gave me his account of one of the incidents complained of - which he said he had apologised for at the time."

📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "What he described constituted, in my view, deeply inappropriate behaviour on his part - another reason why that moment is embedded so strongly in my mind."
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Questions have been raised about a conversation I had three days earlier, on 29 March 2018, with Geoff Aberdein and another individual.
I have not seen Mr Aberdein’s account of that conversation."
I have not seen Mr Aberdein’s account of that conversation."
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "However, I know the account Mr Salmond has given of the meeting - though he also said on Friday that he had not been given a read-out of it."
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Let me say upfront that I have no wish to question the sincerity of Geoff [Aberdein]’s recollection, but it is clear that my recollection is different - and that I did not and do not attach the same significance to the discussion that he has."
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "The purpose of the conversation seemed to be to persuade me to meet with Alex as soon as possible - which I agreed to do.
Geoff indicated that a harassment-type issue had arisen, but my recollection is that he did so in general terms."

📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Since an approach from Sky News in November 2017, I had harboured a lingering suspicion that such issues in relation to Mr Salmond might rear their head - so hearing of a potential issue would not have been, in itself, a massive shock."
