SNP minister hints at end to no cimpulsory redundancy

Appearing before Holyrood’s public service reform committee, Ivan McKee repeatedly insisted the commitment remained in place as he faced questions about how the tens of thousands of job losses the Scottish government is planning over the next five years to fill a £5 billion black hole in its finances would be delivered.
