Commenting as thousands of local government workers stage a one-day walkout, disrupting schools, rubbish collections and ferry services, Tavish Scott, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland said:

“Pay policy is the Government's responsibility. How serious does the situation need to get before Ministers get around the negotiating table?

“These strikes have a direct impact on the services that everyone relies on. Ministers must make sorting this dispute out a priority.”
