THE Scottish government has called on Holyrood to “speak with one voice” and demand action from its British counterpart to cut energy bills.

Ahead of a Scottish parliamentary meeting discussing fuel costs, SNP Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said today: “Labour came to office on the back of big promises to cut energy bills by £300 —  instead, energy bills are going up.

“The Scottish Parliament today has the opportunity to speak with one voice and call for the UK government to keep its promise.
