A new organisation was launched yesterday to highlight and challenge the impact of austerity measures in Scotland. The Scottish Leaders Welfare Group formed by Citizens Advice Scotland, includes Archbishop Philip Tartaglia, Church of Scotland Moderator Rev John Chalmers and Grahame Smith of the Scottish Trade Union Congress. Lord John McFall, who chairs the group, said they hope to gather "empirical evidence" of the damaging effect of benefits cuts to present to the UK and Scottish Governments. He went on to say "It is a system that is not fit for purpose."
