SNP REPRESENTATIVES MEET WITH UK CIVIL SERVICE

SNP Westminster Leader Angus Robertson MP and Chief Whip Stewart Hosie MP
today (Sunday) held their first face-to-face meeting with the UK Civil
Service in London as talks continue between parties seeking to form the
next UK Government.

Commenting after the meeting, Mr Robertson said:

“It is becoming increasingly clear that a progressive alternative to a
Conservative-led government exists at Westminster.

“The SNP stand ready to work with all parties for democratic change
including proportional representation and a functioning UK parliament
which serves the people.

“The people of Scotland will be deeply anxious that instead of real change
and reform, Nick Clegg may simply usher in a Tory government rejected by
over 80% of the Scottish people.

“Our meeting today was constructive and informative and we will maintain
this approach in any future meetings and negotiations.”
