MEMBERS of the Scottish Parliament were urged today not to ditch a government pledge to help hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people living in “almost uninhabitable” damp homes.

Twenty-five organisations have signed a joint letter to every MSP calling for cross-party unity to maintain commitments made by the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Greens, whose government partnership was ended by former first minister Humza Yousaf last week.

They fear that the commitments could be watered down or even axed under a new First Minister.
