The Scottish Conservatives have called on Nicola Sturgeon to refer herself for “clear breaches” of the ministerial code during the ferries fiasco.
They have accused the first minister of failing to properly record a meeting with the then Ferguson Marine shipyard owner Jim McColl in May 2017.
The party also alleges Ms Sturgeon failed to have a civil servant present.
A Scottish government spokesperson said the first minister had “complied in full” with the obligations of the code.
The complaint follows evidence given by Ms Sturgeon to Holyrood’s public audit committee last month.
He says an email sent by an unnamed special adviser who was at the meeting does not contain the “basic facts” required to be recorded under the ministerial code.
Mr Hoy said: “The email evidence which the first minister presents as the supposed minute of a meeting with Jim McColl is nothing of the sort because it reveals very little about what was actually discussed.
“This is made more worrying by the fact that Mr McColl has given a very different account of the discussion.
