Tavish Scott, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland has attacked the Scottish Government's record on housing, urging Ministers to take real action rather than relying on spin.
Mr Scott visited two housing association projects in Dundee today to see social housing in action.
Commenting, Mr Scott said:
"Affordable housing is in short supply in Scotland. But this SNP Government has slashed Housing Association Grants. Ministers brag about a multimillion pound funding boost for affordable housing, but have only allocated a tiny fraction of what they promised. They will not meet housing targets or the needs of people in Dundee and across Scotland.
"20,000 jobs are at stake if the Government doesn't change its mind and get the investment moving.
"It's time the SNP got serious about housing. Spin simply isn't good enough. It won't put a roof over people's heads or save jobs."
