If the above answer includes a) freezing council tax b) abolishing prescription charges c) introducing free school meals to early years then please can you outline or signpost rigorous evidence to show that such policies have contributed towards reducing the percentage of children in low-income families. PS Why haven't you updated your occupation information to reflect that you were elected to become an MP? Show less »

How are your proposals on crime different from Labour? Don't you both support initiatives like the Enhanced Policing Plan?

Show more »The Enhanced Policing plan has shown a real improvement, driving down crime statistics in areas of Glasgow east including reducing incidents of knife carrying by 27%. The SNP's policies not only support the Enhanced Policing Plan, we have also invested £200,000 in tackling gangs in our communities. With the SNP Government funding 1000 new police officers Strathclyde police have confirmed they will have 465 new officers from the Scottish Government in the next 18 months - something the Labour party failed to offer the people of scotland and failed to vote for. The SNP also wants to take action on the root causes of some of the crime and violence in our communities with a new drug strategy to help people lead drug free lives, with investment in community facilities for young people to divert them from crime - investment coming from cash taken from the criminals and drug dealers and new proposals to limit access to the cheap booze that often fuels the violence on our streets.

Could you guarantee voters that an independent Scotland wouldn't mean an accompanying lowering of the standard of living - especially in areas like Glagow East?

Show more »The most recent figures on Scotland's economy show that with only 85% of oil revenues from the North Sea coming to Scotland the Scottish economy would be in a far healthier position than that of the UK, infact it would be in surplus whilst the UK economy currently has a huge deficit. With such a resource at scotland's disposal living standards would be on the increase. Norway, which is of a similar size and population with a similar north sea oil industry is recognised as having one of the highest living standards in the world. The Norwegian government has also taken action to insure itself against declining oil reserves by investing some of the revenue from oil in an oil fund that is able to invest in new technologies and industry, support pensions and provide a long term gain from oil resources. I would want to see Scotland take the same action and hope that my election will lead Gordon Brown to return a share of the current oil windfall to Scotland to start such a fund. Show less »

Show more »The SNP Government began a National Conversation with people across Scotland on our constitutional future last summer. The National Conversation has engaged people and organisations across the country and we will continue that work towards a referendum on Scottish Independence in 2010. A referendum I hope and expect we will win. The question of a second referendum is not one I plan on having to face, however based on previous experience with the defeat of the devolution referendum in 1979 and a second devolution referendum in 1997 I would expect it to be a generation before the question was put to the people of scotland again.
