Ash Regan today met the Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Government, John-Paul Marks, to set out her policy positions for a Regan led administration.

Ash Regan said: “It was a pleasure to meet the Permanent Secretary today, and to share my vision for the way forward for Scotland. The positive, constructive, inclusive vision I have been advocating for over my campaign, includes the Independence Commission which would be announced on day one alongside the civic led Convention”.

“I will hit the ground running, I will reach across party lines, and I will deliver for the people of Scotland. There are huge priorities in both the NHS and with the Economy suffering a cost of living crisis. We will tackle them and all else with the full power of Parliament and Government.”

“The Permanent Secretary will now ensure the plans I have previously set out, are communicated, and the formations of the delivery plan are established. I look forward to working with him following a successful leadership bid.”
