Wishart: Refusal to compensate islanders is spectacularly out of touch
14 Jun 2023
Speaking after the SNP and Greens voted down proposals to compensate islanders for the losses they have suffered as a result on the ongoing ferries fiasco, Scottish Liberal Democrat rural affairs and connectivity spokesperson Beatrice Wishart MSP said:
“Today, the Scottish Government did the wrong thing.
"Rather than make some effort at atonement to islanders, they sit idle while Fergusons pay millions in bonuses to bosses.
“This is a spectacularly out-of-touch decision, and the government must reverse it without delay."
