Last chance to tell MPs about cost-of-living crisis

A call has gone out from Westminster for people living in Scotland’s remote communities to share their experiences of the rising cost of living.

The Scottish Affairs Committee, a cross-party committee of MPs, wants to hear about people’s personal experiences of rising costs of food, energy and transport and how they have hit the more isolated communities in Scotland — including Orkney.

An online survey has been gathering information for the inquiry and closes at 5pm this Sunday, July 16.
