Research commissioned by the Scottish Parliament’s Social Security Committee has shown the most deprived areas of Scotland will once again be hit hardest by the round of welfare reforms announced since the 2015 general election. The work by Sheffield Hallam University show that the cuts will mount to £2 billion a year by 2020. Committee Convener, Sandra White MSP said it should be a “wake-up call” for everyone.
