Rennie: Housing Secretary has some nerve as heating bill dropped

Responding to Cabinet Secretary Mairi McAllan’s decision to drop her government’s long overdue heat in buildings legislation, outlined in their Heat in Buildings Strategy, which was published on 7th October 2021, Willie Rennie MSP said:

“The Cabinet Secretary has got a nerve to stand here today and claim leadership on the climate when she is delaying the very bill that is supposed to be tackling this.

“She boasts that she has taken action on thousands of homes when in fact we’ve got millions of homes in Scotland. It is truly a drop in the ocean.

“When will the minister stop blaming everyone else and accept responsibility herself for this humiliating climbdown?”
