Compare and Contrast


Here's a note of Johann Lamont's email address at the Scottish Parliament - in case any readers from South Lanarkshire want to get in touch to point out the difference in the treatment of Freedom of Information requests - between Scottish health boards and one of Scotland's largest councils:

Now South Lanarkshire Council is an independent body and the Scottish Labour leader cannot tell the Council what to do - in the same way that politicians do not have power to direct the day to day activities of health boards or Police Scotland, for example.

But I do think it is perfectly reasonable to ask the Leader of a political party - any political party - to comment on the behaviour of an organisation that uses the Labour brand name and operates under that particular party's banner.

As ever, I'm happy to share people's thoughts on the blog site - so long as they're sensible and don't set out to cause offence.
