Elena Whitham, the SNP MSP for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley has said that the policies of her party in the Budget will ‘deliver real progress’.
Commenting, she said: “I am delighted at the support John Swinney’s first Budget is offering for people in Ayrshire. It will deliver real progress on people’s priorities – and will offer hope, putting in place the investment for Scotland to win big in the future. “People across Scotland have been let down by the UK Labour Government.
