VAT ON SCOTLAND'S EMERGENCY SERVICES

Today it is expected that the Chancellor will finally abolish VAT on Scotland's emergency services following sustained presssure from SNP MPs.

Please click on the link below of a speech I made on this very issue in 2015 and the level of hostility and barracking I was subjected to by both Labour and Tory MPs. Indeed, the Depute Speaker had to intervene on several occasions to keep order!

I am delighted that this injustice has now been addressed by the Tories. Better late than never!
