Rennie comments on reports Scottish Government will cut advertising spending

Commenting on reports that the Scottish Government is to but back on public sector advertising, economy spokesperson Willie Rennie said:

"I think most members of the public would rather see money spent on frontline services than advertising campaigns.

"However, it is important that the government doesn't end up shooting itself in the foot. For example cutting back on campaigns promoting preventative health measures could end up causing more problems for the NHS in the long run.

"The Scottish Government should say which campaigns are being paused and what assessment it has done of the effectiveness of each of its ads campaigns."
