Scottish Secretary Alister Jack criticised for delivering 'nothing for Scotland'

Secretary of State for Scotland Alister Jack speaking during the Scottish Conservative Conference at P&J Live.

ALISTER Jack has delivered “absolutely nothing for Scotland” as he marks three years as Scotland Secretary instead cosying up to big business and oil lobbyists, opposition politicians have said.

The Dumfries and Galloway Tory MP was appointed head of the Scotland Office on July 24, 2019 and since then has presided over the “power-grabbing” Internal Market Act, continually backed Boris Johnson despite his rule-breaking, partygate and scandals, and supported the UK Government’s levelling up agenda which bypassed the devolution settlement.
