Health Secretary Michael Matheson says his sons watching football on his parliamentary iPad was the cause of an £11,000 data roaming charge.
The bill was incurred during a trip to Morocco last Christmas. He has since paid the money back.
The expense was initially picked up by the Scottish Parliament, which was told by Mr Matheson that the iPad was only used for work.
Mr Matheson told MSPs he was not aware that other family members had used the device until last Thursday, after the first media reports about the charges emerged.
