Dundee Liberal Democrats today (Tuesday 7th April) slammed the failures of the SNP's "Scottish Futures Trust" as 'simply not up to the job of delivering capital projects across Scotland.'
"Liberal Democrats have long argued that the Scottish Futures Trust is utterly ineffective. These figures underline that this expensive Government quango is a complete waste of taxpayers' money at this time of recession.
"Ministers must abandon this useless quango and get on with the real work of building the schools and hospitals Scotland needs."
Here in Dundee, Liberal Democrat City Council Group Leader, Cllr Fraser Macpherson, added, "We now learn that the Chief Executive of the Scottish Futures Trust is to be paid a salary of £180 000 a year. The Trust has simply failed to maintain momentum in capital projects and is costing a fortune to run. It is yet another SNP failure."
