EXCLUSIVE: The First Minister is under fire as civil servants were not 'sighted' on the policy
Humza Yousaf said he regrets the way the SNP announced a council tax freeze without telling local authorities, a leaked document reveals.
Scottish Labour depute leader Jackie Baillie said: "Local government ignored, civil servants left in the dark. This incompetence has to end." In a summary of the exchange, seen by the Record, Yousaf was asked why the VHA was ignored, when the decision was taken and how trust could be rebuilt. The document says of his response: “VHA was considered but decision was taken that something needed done to help all households during the ongoing cost of living crisis.He was also asked if he appreciated how difficult it had been for all political groups in COSLA to sign up to the VHA.
It added: “Meetings were held with civil servants immediately after the announcement. They had also been unsighted on the announcement and are concerned about the ramifications for both the Verity House Agreement and Local Government finance.”
