SCOTTISH Labour will force a vote at Holyrood today on the SNP’s record of financial mismanagement in government. 

The party will hold a debate highlighting the fact more than £3.7 billion of public money has been wasted under the SNP. 

Labour’s motion slams the SNP for 16 years of “failed financial interventions, incompetence, waste and inefficiency” and calls on the government to prioritise “openness, transparency and competence.”
