"BBC Radio Scotland "Scotland at Ten", 25 February 2008 LORD GEORGE FOULKES: "The SNP are on a very dangerous tack at the moment. What they are doing is trying to build up a situation in Scotland where the services are manifestly better than south of the Border in a number of areas." COLIN MACKAY : "Is that a bad thing?" LORD GEORGE FOULKES :
"No. But they are doing it deliberately .... "
Deliberately making Scotland better........just who does this Alex Salmond think he is..... " |

MSP Jamie Hepburn today thanked Lord George Foulkes for using his
Parliamentary Questions to expose the efficiency and effectiveness of
the SNP Government and the huge expenses run up by the previous
administration.
A series of Parliamentary answers to Lord Foulkes show that
*
Advisers to the First Minister have claimed one sixth of the expenses
of those for the Labour and Lib Dem Administrations who claimed £57,000
in 2004-05
* the number of communications officers, number of
press releases issued, communications officers costs, and PR costs are
all LESS under the SNP Scottish Government than the Labour/LibDem
Executive. For example, PR costs between 1 May 2007-31 January 2008 are
nearly 40% less than the equivalent costs between 1 May 2006-31 January
2007.
* the number of ministerial car journeys between 16 May
2007-31 January 2008 is 500 FEWER than during the comparable period in
the previous year of the Labour/LibDem Executive.
* Three times as many people have viewed Alex Salmond's online broadcasts as viewed Jack McConnell's
Commenting on Lord Foulkes failed attempts at attacking the Government Central Scotland MSP Jamie Hepburn said:
"I
would like to thank Lord George Foulkes for going to such lengths to
expose the efficiency and effectiveness of the SNP Government in
contrast to the waste and excess of the Labour and Lib Dem
administration.
"His fishing attempts demonstrate that the SNP
have delivered far more effective, efficient and leaner government than
the previous Labour/LibDem Executive - which was clearly all expensive
spin and no policy substance.
"The SNP government has done more
in the last year than the Labour/LibDem coalition did in 8 years, which
is one reason why we are at record levels in the opinion polls.
"This
is yet another example of Lord 'Boomerang' Foulkes in action. His
attempts to attack the SNP Government have spectacularly backfired and
only exposed the failings of his own party in power. Instead of landing
a prize fish he has only caught the boot for Labour."
