Commenting on results from CBI Scotland's quarterly trend survey which shows that total new orders from Scottish manufacturers in the three months to January fell at the fastest rate since October 2001, Liberal Democrat Finance spokesperson Jeremy Purvis MSP said:
Jeremy Purvis MSP"Previous economic forecasts from King Sturge, RBS and the Scottish Chamber of Commerce have all predicted that the current economic crisis would hit Scotland hard. Today's figures from CBI Scotland confirm this.
"Liberal Democrats have repeatedly called for Ministers to take radical action to support Scottish manufacturers, businesses and families through the current economic crisis.
"A 'business-as-usual' Budget from the SNP is a woefully inadequate response to the economic storm facing Scotland."
