Leadership roles for Whiteford
Wednesday 13 May 2015
Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford has been appointed to two prominent leadership positions in the SNP Group at Westminster.
The front bench appointment will see Dr. Whiteford go head-to-head with Iain Duncan Smith on some of the most controversial aspects of the Tory’s welfare reform agenda.
Speaking following her appointment, Dr. Whiteford said:
“I’m delighted to accept this appointment, and continue in the role as the SNP’s spokesperson for Work and Pensions.
“With further Tory cuts looming, it is perhaps more important than ever before that SNP MPs stand up for the most vulnerable and provide an anti-austerity voice in Westminster.”
