Rennie responds to Audit Scotland report

Responding to a report by the Auditor General for Scotland which states that the Scottish Government is still relying on short-term measures to address a forecasted gap between its spending and funding, with its latest £1bn underspend largely supported by the additional funding provided by the UK Government, Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie MSP said:

“The SNP have no serious plan for our public services.

“Instead, they have put them on the line by making one expensive blunder after another, from their disastrous bungling of the ferries to selling off the seabed on the cheap.

“Scotland deserves better, which is why my party want a step change in how public money is spent, investing in our public services and growing our economy for generations to come.”
