SNP accused of trying to 'railroad' through six-month extens

John Swinney has been accused of trying to "railroad" through Holyrood a six-month extension to the emergency Covid powers as he warned they could last until autumn next year. The Deputy First Minister said it was "clear" that some of the emergency powers handed to SNP ministers at the start of the pandemic will still be required after the current expiry date of Sept 30. He told MSPs work is being done on a new Bill that would extend some of the provisions by six months until March 30 next year,
