SNP has fuelled Scotland's housing crisis, Scottish Labour say

SCOTTISH Labour slammed the SNP’s “catastrophic” record today, accusing it of having “fuelled” Scotland’s growing housing crisis.

The party will use a Holyrood debate on Wednesday to call for them to “take responsibility” for the crisis and sack SNP Housing Minister Paul McLennan.

Official figures released last week painted a picture of housebuilding in “collapse” and soaring homelessness.
