Commenting on the rash of retailers suspending Christmas deliveries and orders to Scotland after the bad weather and gridlocked roads have caused a massive backlog, Liberal Democrat Finance spokesperson Jeremy Purvis said:
"The SNP Government's chaotic handling of this has to stop. It's an absolute embarrassment that some retailers have suspended Christmas orders and deliveries to Scotland.
"Keith Brown doesn't have the luxury of a honeymoon period. The fact that a hapless Minister has resigned doesn't mean that the Government response is sorted.
"With yet more wintry weather on the way, the new Transport Minister has to regain not only the trust of the travelling public, but that of retailers who depend on their delivery routes being kept clear.
"Any repeat of the traffic chaos in the last couple of weeks could not only ruin Christmas for families the length and breadth of Scotland, but jeopardise economic recovery for the country."
