EXCLUSIVE: Paul McLennan, the SNP Housing Minister, has called for a commitment at the next Budget to a permanent annual increase to a key benefit.
Rachel Reeves has been urged by the Scottish Government to join a "collective effort" to fix the country's housing emergency.
Housing is a devolved issue but Holyrood believes a UK-led push for new homes could lead to more funding via Barnett consequentials. It comes as new figures show people sleeping rough on the streets of Scotland are dying in record numbers despite efforts to tackle the nation’s homelessness crisis. "The Scottish Government has already delivered a number of measures to ensure families can have a place they can call home. We are investing £600 million this year in affordable housing.
"If the UK Government is serious about tackling the housing emergency, it will reverse the cuts in both our capital funding and Financial Transactions."
