Westminister 'Delivering Disproportionate Cuts To New Mums"

The SNP claim women in Scotland are suffering 68% of all Westminster welfare cuts.

New mums are set to suffer under the latest cuts from the Westminister Government.

The SNP say new mums will be £360 worse off and cuts are disproportionately affecting women in general. 

They claim Scottish Parliamentary answers show real term cuts to statutory maternity pay means mums lose out to the extent that by 2016 a mother claiming would be worse off than if it had increased inline with inflation. 

New data also shows women in Scotland are suffering 68% of all Westminster welfare cuts.
