PROMISE OF ACTION ON REPOSSESSIONS OVERDUE BUT WELCOME - FINNIE

Commenting after a Ministerial Statement on the final report looking into repossessions in Scotland, Liberal Democrat Housing spokesperson Ross Finnie said:

"After the Cabinet Secretary's stubborn refusal to accept the problem of legal protection over repossessions in Scotland I am pleased she has now promised action over the Committee's report.

"It is vital that legal protections are in place to ensure repossession is a last resort. There could be no more important a time to put these measures in place than during the current recession.

"The SNP got it wrong. Now that Parliament has forced a rethink to protect families from the spectre of homelessness all thirteen recommendations made in the report must be implemented."
