On the phone in Stephen talking about Scotland's national housing emergency.

As the Scottish government declare a national housing emergency, Stephen asks - what’s the picture for you and your family? Also on the show, Sue Perkins, fruit juice and train travel.

PHONE-IN
The Scottish government has declared a national housing emergency. The announcement came during a Labour-led debate at Holyrood calling for the move. SNP ministers have cited UK government budget cuts and austerity. But UK ministers said that the Scottish government receives about 25% more funding from Whitehall than other parts of the UK. The SNP previously voted against a Labour motion declaring a housing emergency in November. 

Last year, Argyll and Bute, City of Edinburgh and Glasgow City councils all declared housing emergencies. Fife Council made the same move in March followed by West Dunbartonshire earlier this month. Declaring an emergency is a signal to government that the current situation is not working and there needs to be intervention.
