Humza Yousaf has claimed "every single Scottish Conservative" agrees with a Tory peer who suggested that devolution should be reversed.
David Frost said it was "time to reverse the process" of devolution and called for his party to “review and roll back some currently devolved powers” if they are re-elected at the next general election.
His comments provoked outrage among Scots Tory MSPs who dismissed it as "nonsense" and "baloney".
But the First Minister said today it is was proof of what Scottish Conservatives "really think".
Yousaf was asked by SNP MSP Fiona Hyslop during First Minister's Questions if it was up to all parliamentarians to defend Holyrood "from and attack on democracy".
He replied: “Absolutely. Lord Frost, unelected Tory peer, gave the game away. He said the quiet bit out loud.
“He said what every single Scottish Conservative really thinks.”

Yousaf continued: “It’s hardly a surprise that the party that didn’t support the Scottish Parliament now wants to dismantle the Scottish Parliament.
“But let me be abundantly clear: whether it’s on the Section 35 veto, whether it’s their inability to grant an exemption under the Internal Market Act, whether it's the fact they want to curtail our excellent international development work or external engagement, with the SNP-led Scottish Government, we will always defend our democracy and we will always defend the voice of the Scottish people.”
Former Brexit Secretary Frost wrote: "The SNP’s implosion is a chance to put failing devolution into reverse. The Section 35 decision must be only the first step
