Cost of living: impact on rural communities in Scotland

Inquiry

The Committee has launched an inquiry to explore the impact of rising costs of living on rural populations across Scotland. We'll also be looking at to what extent support packages provided by the UK Government meet the needs of Scotland’s rural communities in relation to the cost of living, and whether this could be better tailored. The Committee is welcoming any written responses to the inquiry, especially from those living in rural areas in Scotland.

Read the call for evidence for more information about the inquiry and how to submit your views.
