Quango reform is food for thought

5.51.29pm GMT Mon 8th Feb 2010

Commenting on Reform Scotland’s call for wholesale quango reform, Liberal Democrat Finance spokesman Jeremy Purvis MSP said:

“These proposals should give us food for thought. Whilst it is absolutely right to look at the democratic accountability of all the quangos, we must also question their ability to deliver for the economy and better public services.

“It is deeply regrettable that the SNP, in setting up new quangos like the Scottish Futures Trust have done so more out of political hubris rather than saving the taxpayer money.”
