SNP Green Government could have given £600 to low income families - but gave cash to the well off

The SNP/Green Government had the money to give low income Scots a £600 boost - nearly enough to cover spiralling energy bills.

But Ministers chose to give £150 to a much wider group of people, including the wealthy.

The Poverty Alliance said the Scottish Government had made a “huge mistake” and urged Nicola Sturgeon ’s administration to “think again”.
