SNP’s finances are in ‘robust health’, says Ian Blackford

T

he SNP’s former Westminster leader has said the party’s finances are in “robust health” following claims its ruling body was told it is struggling financially.

Ian Blackford said the party can meet all its financial obligations and is “solvent”.

He was speaking following reports in The Sunday Times that the party’s treasurer Colin Beattie told the SNP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Saturday it is “having difficulty in balancing the books due to the reduction in membership and donors”.
