28 November 2023 at 15:07 Conclusion in the Storting’s integrity investigation postponed The Storting’s Control and Constitution Committee will not finish its investigation of this year’s political integrity scandals before 6 February next year. It became clear after a meeting of the committee today, news has confirmed. – The committee has said that we need a little more time to conclude in a good way. That’s why we have adopted a handover date of 6 February, says mayor Grunde Almeland (V). – The reason is that the case has grown during the autumn. New dimensions have constantly been added. The last week has been about record keeping and how the Public Disclosure Act is followed. We need to ask questions about this too, he says. Originally, the aim was to finish the case before Christmas, but now the committee’s submission has been postponed. At the same time, it is clear that new questions will be asked about the record-keeping at the Prime Minister’s Office (SMK), which has been widely discussed in recent days. – The news about the lack of record-keeping of matters concerning the share transactions of Erna Solberg’s spouse and which could disqualify the then prime minister is serious. It also naturally ends up on the control committee’s table, says Rødt’s Seher Aydar. – For everyone involved, it is good if this case can be concluded sooner rather than later. But at the same time, I am concerned that we as a committee should be comfortable together that we can do a thorough enough job, says Almeland.
