JOHN Swinney has hinted at the “abolition” of council tax – and said that the Deputy First Minister has already started work on reforming the system.
The SNP leader’s comments – in which he also indicated support for cuts to the size of the civil service and said he will “consider” a four-day week for government workers – came in response to Scottish Green co-leader Gillian Mackay at the first First Minister’s Questions of the new Scottish parliament.
