## Resource

Scotland’s Transport Secretary Stephen Flynn dodged direct questions about job cuts as he defended merging Transport Scotland back into the Scottish Government, stressing the goal is service improvement—not austerity. While acknowledging potential role overlaps during the transition, he ruled out definitive claims on employment impacts, calling the process too early to predict workforce changes. The move is part of a wider public sector overhaul aimed at streamlining delivery for the public. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
