SCOTLAND’S Deputy First Minister was reported to the Statistics Authority today over comments which the opposition have branded a “spin.”
Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie claimed that John Swinney made comments on national radio earlier this month wrongly using statistics.
Ms Baillie has said that public trust in the actions of the Scottish government is of paramount importance and that it has a duty to present the facts as they are and not as it wishes them to be.
