Debate

Economic Growth: Scotland

Contribution

The Secretary of State said at the weekend that the Labour Budget “will herald an era of growth for Scotland”, but what is going to grow? Is it the tax burden on hard-working Scots, the number of pensioners choosing between heating and eating because they have not got their winter fuel payments, or the number of Labour broken promises? Or will we get all three this afternoon?
