General Question Time
Cost of Living Support (Glasgow Anniesland)
The support and dedicated services that are available to help people with their struggles with the cost of living are a lifeline to many in my constituency and across Scotland, given the continuing pressures on households and in the light of rising petrol, energy and food prices, which are linked to global instability. Does the minister share my concern that families are approaching a new cost of living crisis point, and will she call on the United Kingdom Government to deliver an emergency package of support, particularly to prevent further increases in energy bills and fuel costs, which would place an even greater strain on households?
