- SCOTLAND’S Health Secretary has explained how he racked up nearly £11,000 in roaming data charges on his iPad while on holiday in Morocco.
It was revealed that Michael Matheson incurred a fee of £10,935.74 during the week-long visit around Christmas last year.
As the device was issued by the Scottish Parliament, officials at Holyrood challenged the fee but the provider declined to waive it.
Matheson will contribute £3000 from his office costs to cover the bill while the rest will be paid by Parliament.

- “As the member was still using the Parliament’s previous mobile provider and hadn’t yet switched to our present contract, he incurred significant data fees over and above its ‘rest of the world’ tariff rate.
“The Parliament challenged the company over the scale of the data fees – which totalled £10,935.74 – and over the late warning to the rising cost, but the company declined to meet or waive any of the charges.
“On the basis that the member has assured the Parliament that these costs were incurred in relation to parliamentary business and not for personal or Government use,
we agreed that Mr Matheson would contribute £3000 from his office cost provision and the remainder would be paid centrally by the Parliament.”
