Following his election as Scottish Conservative leader, Douglas Ross has announced his new shadow cabinet with Central Scotland MSP Graham Simpson being named as the Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity.
Graham Simpson, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity said:
“I am delighted to be appointed to Douglas Ross’ shadow cabinet.
“With Douglas Ross as the leader and the members of his shadow cabinet announced, the Scottish Tories are ready and willing to tackle the SNPs mismanagement head on.
“I am excited to get stuck into my new brief of transport, infrastructure and connectivity. There’s a lot of mileage in it and I’m looking forward to calling on the inadequacies of the SNP Scottish Government.
“SNP mismanagement has led to the delay of building of ferries, ScotRail maintenance, R100 broadband and other infrastructure services. They continue to be obsessed with IndyRef and leading to a deterioration in almost every area in which they have had responsibility.
“We will be working hard to put Scots first and I look forward to making the most of this opportunity.
