BANISH THE BEDROOM TAX MONSTER

“John Swinney's Budget Bill will provide £20 million to fund Shelter Scotland’s proposal to help those struggling most with the cost of the tax. This funding will enable local authorities to increase discretionary housing payments to meet some of the implications of the Bedroom Tax." Humza Yousaf.

Bravo, John. It's a start till we can be rid for good of a government which thinks that this is fair and decent, whilst doing nothing to provide more suitable housing for people who need it, and indeed which continues to sell off the public housing stock.
