Commenting on Scottish Retail Consortium figures that show February 2010 was the worst February since the survey began in 1999, Liberal Democrat Finance spokesperson Jeremy Purvis MSP said:

"These figures demonstrate the extreme fragility of the Scottish economy.

"We are still waiting for official Government figures that show whether or not Scotland is in fact out of recession, but these figures reflect the muted confidence amongst the public that the Government has the right strategy for growth."
