Alison Johnstone, Presiding Officer, said: “The Member himself has acknowledged he failed to update his sim card and incurred significant charges, which he has now agreed to meet in full.
“The review will give officials and the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body greater ability to intervene where Members have not followed guidance.
“The SPCB recognises that Members are the elected representatives of their constituents and privacy and confidentiality is fundamental to that relationship.”
Meanwhile, First Minister, Humza Yousaf has said the mater should be at an end now Matheson has agreed to pay the charges in full.
He said "He has made an honest mistake in relation to the sim card and the sim card not being updated when it should have been done.
"As far as I am concerned that is the end of the matter."
Opponents, however, are not accepting this statement.
Craig Hoy, Scottish Conservative chairman, said: “Humza Yousaf is deluding himself if he reckons that Michael Matheson belatedly being shamed into paying back this huge bill is the end of this scandal.
“Humza Yousaf knows perfectly well that the only way for Michael Matheson to retain a semblance of integrity is by handing over his iPad to the parliament’s IT department so that they can check its browser history. That is the only means of verifying Michael Matheson’s ‘assurance’ that the roaming charges were accrued solely on constituency work.”
