Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP West of Scotland) today spoke in the Scottish Parliament during Lib Dem debate on the rising cost of living affecting many people in Inverclyde.
The Lib Dems were proposing a 2p cut in tax, however flaws in the plans were pointed out including the original cost of the proposals jumping from £400 million to £800 million.
During the debate Mr. McMillan said;
"If the Lib Dems want to help hard pressed families in Scotland, they need to put pressure on the UK Government to work for lower energy prices, lower petrol prices and lower food prices and to back measures such as the fuel duty regulator. Anything less is just playing the electorate for fools.
Following the debate Mr. McMillan said;
"The rising cost of living is having a detrimental affect on so many people in Inverclyde.
"Rising fuel bills and energy costs are causing many people distress and it is time the Westminster Government took action.
"The SNP Government are helping people here in numerous ways including freezing council tax, providing record number of central heating installations and much more.
"It’s time the UK Government took their responsibilities seriously and gave something back to people in Inverclyde.
