Paging the IMF
At first sight,
here's some good news:Scottish Parliament bosses have put forward plans for a cut in their overall budget for the coming year
But let's have a look at this:
The expenses bill for MSPs increased last year by more than 8% to £10.9m, the Scottish Parliament has said.
Holyrood bosses put the £876,587 rise in 2008-09 partly down to an increase in members' staff salaries.
I'd be astounded if Holyrood (or Westminster, for that matter) actually cuts expenditure voluntarily. I think they're going to keep the spending going right down to the last penny.
