LABOUR MUST WITHDRAW SCAREMONGERING LEAFLETS

SNP CHALLENGE LABOUR OVER CONCESSIONARY CLAIMS

The SNP today called on Labour to withdraw all leaflets claiming that bus
passes will be cut.

In fact the SNP has guaranteed the bus pass and is extending it to include
disabled veterans.

The leaflets were exposed in the Leaders Debate last night when Brown
denied Labour were issuing such claims.

Labour candidates across the country – including high profile Scottish
examples such as Margaret Curran - are scaremongering over cuts to the
concessionary bus pass.

Demanding the leaflets be withdrawn SNP candidate in Glasgow East John
Mason said:

“If you cannot trust Labour on this, what can you trust them on.

“Labour must withdraw these leaflets now. They are needlessly scaring
Scotland’s pensioners in a desperate scramble for votes.

“These leaflets are the worst kind of politics and Brown and his party
should know better.

“The truth is the bus pass is being extended and Labour’s claims are utter
rubbish.

“ Voters across the country have had enough of this kind of behaviour from
politicians. Labour must destroy all these leaflets immediately"
