Only one certainty with Labour – taxes will go up

Scottish Labour today launched its Business Manifesto.

Derek Brownlee, Scottish Conservative Finance Spokesperson, said:

"The party which created the longest and deepest recession since the war is finally asking how we can grow Scotland's economy.

"Scottish Labour opposed business rate cuts for small business in the last Parliament having made Scottish businesses pay higher rates than in England when Iain Gray was a Minister. Labour voted against the help Conservatives delivered for our exporting and housing industries.

"Labour is u-turning by the day and none of their sums add up. Whatever they claim before the election, only one thing is certain – Labour's plans will mean higher taxes for Scottish families and businesses."
