RECORDS of overnight guests at Alex Salmond's official residence are being systematically destroyed despite public concerns about lobbying and access to politicians, it has emerged.
Details of all those enjoying the First Minister's private hospitality are deleted within 72 hours, once security personnel no longer require them, the Sunday Herald has learned.
Labour and the LibDems last night urged Salmond to publish full guest records to ensure transparency.
