Economic incompetence from the SNP spanning more than a decade will hamper Scotland’s recovery from coronavirus, the Scottish Conservatives have warned.
The Scottish Government set out an economy recovery plan today as businesses across the country face a major downturn.
And while some measures were welcome, shadow economy secretary Maurice Golden said companies and workers needed action now.
Scottish Conservative shadow economy secretary Maurice Golden said:
“More than a decade of economic incompetence from the SNP is now coming back to haunt the country.
“Of course no-one could have foreseen coronavirus or the devastating impact it would have world-wide.
“But all the indications show Scotland’s economy was lagging behind before this, and now it seems the impact will be harder here than elsewhere.
“The SNP needs to accept responsibility for that and take action now.
“Instead, all businesses are getting is far-off promises – which will be far too late for many – and another nationalist attempt at stoking up constitutional division.”
