First Minister's Question Time
Winter-related Deaths
I can imagine the chancellor's response should I make any budget announcements here today, but I am willing to take the valid point that John Swinburne makes to the chancellor before this year's pre-budget report. The actions that the United Kingdom Government and our Government in Scotland have taken are making a difference and I am glad that that is being seen. I hope that we can build on that this year and in years to come.
