Commenting on this Cathy Peattie, Chair of the Scottish Co-operative Party said:

‘The Scottish Labour Party is lucky to have such a high quality panel of candidates. It was good to see all of the candidates giving prominence to co-operative policies in their policy programme for Scotland’s future. The Scottish Co-operative Party looks forward to working with all of these candidates in the future as we strive to create a fairer, better, more co-operative Scotland.’’
