Scotland: Health Minister resigns over five-figure bill for mobile phone bill. Michael Matheson says his children used the device to watch football.
He has served in government for almost 13 years, holding various positions. Scotland's Prime Minister accepted his resignation with regret, but said it was best for him to step down now. The bill was for around 11,000 pounds (around 12,900 euros) for the SIM card. The Scottish National Party MP was criticized for his handling of the case.
