The Government obviously has a policy in relation to not pursuing compulsory redundancies and we do not want to see that applied in these circumstances.
I’m surprised the Prime Minister’s decided not to come to Scotland as part of his listening tour.
What is now needed is the UK Government to respect the voice of the Scottish people and Parliament and transfer the necessary powers.
The UK Government came to office promising to cut people’s bills by £300, yet bills are already more than £250 higher – and they are going to increase further as we head into winter.
