The SNP has demanded an apology from a Tory minister who claimed that veterans choose to use foodbanks.
The party's defence spokesperson Dave Doogan has written to Tory veterans minister Johnny Mercer demanding he says sorry for his "crass and uninformed" comments.
Mercer said earlier this week it is “not correct” people are forced to use foodbanks and suggested some members of the armed forces are using them because of "personal decisions around how people are budgeting every month".
