Coins and Scottish bank notes

CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves must axe the bedroom tax in her Budget later this month, the SNP demanded today.

Ms Reeves is preparing to present her budget on October 30 — Labour’s first in 15 years.

SNP deputy Westminster leader Pete Wishart has called on her to ditch the Tory policy which affects almost 100,000 Scottish households, according to the latest research from the House of Commons Library.
