Meeting of the Parliament 12 March 2026 [Draft]
I agree. Scotland faces an on-going cost of living crisis, with global events likely to exacerbate already stretched household budgets. We have consistently called on the UK Government to do more. The Cabinet Secretary for Housing has pressed UK ministers urgently to provide public reassurance to all bill payers that ministers will provide financial support to consumers if prices do not stabilise in the coming days. She has also asked that the alternative fuel payment infrastructure be ready to be stood up, so that payments can be delivered as quickly as possible.
