Lib Dems must publish spending plans

The Scottish Lib Dems need to publish their spending plans before anyone can believe anything they say.

Derek Brownlee, Scottish Conservative Finance Spokesperson, said:

"At our manifesto launch we produced a comprehensive 50 page document costing all our plans over the next four years. The word 'costing' only appears in the Lib Dem manifesto once.

"The Lib Dems may be in partnership with the Conservatives in the UK Government but this is just not a credible manifesto for Holyrood. Even on issues where the Lib Dems apparently agree with us - such as ending automatic early release from jails - we must ask them why they voted against our efforts to stop this in the past?

"In these tough economic times, people want political parties to show them the money. We did it in our manifesto but there is just no evidence of that today from the Scottish Lib Dems. They must publish the details of their spending plans, or no one will believe anything they say."
