SFT announce benefits for 2009/10: Challenge is for us to all save more

The Scottish Futures Trust has announced £111m of net benefits and savings to infrastructure investment in Scotland.

The total benefit to infrastructure investment in Scotland achieved from the SFT's work with partner organisations during 2009-2010 amounts to £218m.

Derek Brownlee MSP, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance & Sustainable Growth, said:

"We welcome the news that the SFT has saved £218m in the year. We always believed there was scope to make savings and the challenge is to continue to do so, and save more.

"Alone amongst the opposition parties, we have supported the SFT's efforts to save money. It is now time for everyone in the public sector - and the parliament - to pursue the same agenda."
