Post by: Nearly Sane on May 13, 2024, 08:51:28 AM

I wonder if an election was called whether it would get delayed.

Only because you aren't thinking about the impact on an election. This gives the opposition parties in Scotland a timeline to try and make sure that it is released before the election. If there is any delay, they'll call cover up, and will be believed even if there isn't one.

Over to the COPFS. The surprise election may well be a relief on this to the SNP.
