Full question wording

The SNP's former chief executive, Peter Murrell, and ex-treasurer Colin Beattie were arrested as part of a police investigation into the party's finances. Both were released without charge pending further investigation. Some say the investigation by the police has been 'proportionate and necessary', but others have branded it a 'grotesque circus'. To what extent do you think the SNP have been treated fairly or unfairly by the police during the investigation into the party's finances?
