LAST SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE WASTED £114M ON CONSULTANTS FEES.
SNP GOVERNMENT DRASTICALLY CUTS PREVIOUS EXEC'S PR BUDGET
SNP MSP Alex Neil – a member of the Scottish Parliament's Finance Committee – has hit out at the previous LibDem/Labour Executive after an Audit Scotland's report revealed that they spent £114 million on consultants in its last year in power.
Mr Neil said:
"The SNP are delivering far more effective, efficient and leaner government than the previous LibDem/Labour Executive – which was profligate with the public purse. Already, the SNP Government has put in place a robust system to bring these costs under control.
"This report backs up previous figures which show the efficiency and effectiveness of the SNP Government in comparison to our Labour and Lib Dem predecessors. For example, official figures show the Labour/LibDem Executive spent 60% more a month on PR than the present SNP Government.
"We now have an SNP Government which has put in place the guidance to ensure consultants are only used when absolutely necessary.
"This report underlines how the SNP Government has done more in its first 20 months in power to provide value for money than the Labour/LibDem coalition did in 8 years."
