Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East has welcomed the UK Conservative Government Budget and called it a Budget for the North East.
Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East said:
“The UK Conservative Government have taken action to help small businesses to get access to lower interest rates – this will be welcomed by thousands of small businesses across the North East.
“Thanks to the action taken by the UK Conservative Government fuel is 13p a litre less than it would have been under Labour and that makes a real difference in people living in rural areas, where a car is a necessity not a luxury.
“The UK Conservative Government is working to deliver growth and investment for the North East and continue to make sure the region continues to be the Energy Capital of Europe and a centre for global investment for decades to come.
“It is clear that the UK economy faces many challenges but action taken today by the UK Conservative Government will help protect jobs and encourage growth in the North East.”
