THE leader of the Scottish Conservatives confirmed yesterday that Tory plans to reach full employment north of the border and create business recovery councils would not include trade-union or worker representation.
Douglas Ross, a football assistant referee, MP and MSP candidate in the upcoming Holyrood elections, told journalists that his party would set out “ambitious plans” to rebuild Scotland after the coronavirus pandemic, including a number of grants for business owners.
The Tories laid out their Rebuilding Roadmap for Scotland ahead of May’s elections, which included an aim of achieving full employment in Scotland by 2025 by ending “the SNP’s anti-business approach.”
