Nicola Sturgeon would have resigned if she had been found to have breached the ministerial code.
The First Minister is facing a vote of no confidence over the Scottish Government's botched handling of the complaints against Alex Salmond.
Yesterday an independent investigator concluded that the SNP leader did not breach the code which ministers must adhere to.
During the no confidence debate in the Scottish Parliament Sturgeon said if she had been found to have broken the code by James Hamilton then she would have resigned.
Earlier today the harassment committee found concluded that the First Minister "misled" them.
She said: "Had Mr Hamilton's report gone the other way, I would have accepted it.
"Had he had found I had breached the code in anything other than the most technical and immaterial of ways I would have been standing here, right now, tendering my resignation.
"The integrity of this office I am so privileged to hold really does matter to me."
