John Swinney has laid the blame for council cuts in Glasgow on the UK Government austerity.
Swinney is expected to be confirmed as First Minister on Tuesday after he was elected as SNP leader unopposed.Asked by the Glasgow Times if he could achieve those aims without increasing the funding available to local authorities, he said the reason councils were facing budget pressures was UK imposed austerity.
“But the underlying problem is austerity from the Tory government in Westminster and I’m not optimistic that the parameters of that austerity are going to change much if there's the election of a Labour government sometime later on this year.”He added: “We’ve got to work effectively with our local authorities and we will do that to create ways in which local authorities are able to maximise their resources.
