Commenting on reports that Gordon Brown and David Cameron will propose tax cuts to energise the economy, Liberal Democrat Finance spokesperson Jeremy Purvis said:
"I am pleased that there is growing consensus that after the bank bailout to stabilise the economy we need a fiscal stimulus to energise it.
"Liberal Democrats are calling on the Scottish Government to deliver this in Scotland by using the tax varying power at its disposal. This would put money back into people's pockets at the time they need it most, providing a much needed boost for the economy.
"David Cameron and Gordon Brown's hints that they support tax cuts should prompt Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservatives to support our plan."
