Stevenson To Speak At National Farmers Union Hustings

SNP candidate for Banff & Buchan Stewart Stevenson is to speak the NFU hustings tomorrow evening (Wednesday) at 7.30pm at the Thainstone Agricultural Centre.

Mr Stevenson – who was invited to speak by the National Farmers Union – commented:

“I am looking forward to this opportunity to put the SNP’s case in front of the farming community once again.

“In recent weeks, I have been pressing Ministers on the retention of the Scottish Agricultural College at Craibstone, raised local complaints regarding the British Cattle Movement Service, and lobbied the Scottish Executive on grant aid for farmers in NVZ areas.

“There is much going on in the agricultural sector that MSPs can play their part to influence for the better and I look forward to continuing to stand up for my farming constituents.”
