Nicol Stephen not to compromise with Labour

Following his article on the David Steel Commission, Hamish Macdonell reports that Nicol Stephen’s policies on local tax and (anti) nuclear power are diverging more and more from those of Labour.

“We would make it clear [in the 2007 election campaign] that we are absolutely determined to use the powers of the Scottish Parliament to prevent a new generation of nuclear power stations being built here… .

We will fight very hard for that issue - this is one of the core issues we will be fighting the campaign on.” Nicol Stephen
