SNP fights for Scottish Power:<br>Whitehead condemns Labour's 'couldn't care less' attitude
Sunday, 18 September 2005
SNP candidate in the Cathcart by-election, Maire Whitehead, and SNP Depute Leader Nicola Sturgeon MSP will be visiting Scottish Power in Cathcart at 12 noon on Monday. They will also be meeting unions representatives later that day.

Ms Whitehead has vowed to hold the Labour Party to account over its 'couldn't care less attitude' and 'appalling’ handling of the possible takeover of ScottishPower by German energy giant E.ON.

Commenting Nicola Sturgeon said:

“At our meeting on Monday, the SNP will be offering its full support to the staff at Scottish Power. We recognise the strategic importance of Scottish Power to Scotland and its importance to the economy of Cathcart.

"I find it bizarre that so far the First Minister has been unable to offer any support. With the possibility of a take over on the horizon, Scotland's politicians need to stand full square behind Scottish Power." Ms Whitehead said:

“Scottish Power’s future is vital to Cathcart, Glasgow and Scotland. I will not allow the Labour Party to just shrug its shoulders while there is a very real risk of takeover.

"This by-election offers voters a chance to have their voice heard. I am sure they will want to make a difference for Scottish Power.

"People are struggling to understand why the Labour Party is doing so little to stand up for a Scottish company with so many employees in Cathcart. They have a 'couldn't care less' attitude. I think it shows Labour has lost touch with its roots."
