Independent audit on Holyrood expendature of funds received from Westminster
With headlines like Nicola Sturgeon and SNP 'hoarding' UK funding for independence referendum 'war chest' (The Daily Express 14/02/21). and Nicola Sturgeon's independence dream dealt blow as £9.7BN UK fund 'shows union's strength' It is Time for an Independent Audit in to where these funds have gone
Under FOI we can not demand info from a political party. Holyrood is currently 90% SNP controlled, It is common knowledge that Approx £9.7 billion in extra funding has been provided by Westminster to Aide Scotland through the current horrific pandemic, It is time for Holyrood to explain to the public what has happened to that as it seems very little has been spent, while suddenly independence task forces are created. Who is funding those? we want the NAO or an alternative to AUDIT Holyrood
