Scottish independence can lead to pay rises for public sector, Greens MSP argues

'Independence gives us the powers of a normal country', argued Green MSP Maggie Chapman

GREENS MSP Maggie Chapman argued that Scottish independence will allow the Scottish Government to give pay rises to public sector workers on Thursday’s Debate Night.

Chapman stated that while she wanted to give public sector workers across Scotland an above inflation pay rise as “pay rises haven’t kept pace with inflation for decades”, the Scottish Parliament has a restricted budget due to powers reserved to Westminster.
