Mr Smith thinks the SNP have made a tactical mistake on this issue. He doesn't even believe those people who received higher pensions than they should have done would have expected to keep getting them going forward once the error was detected. This appears to be another one of those examples of where the SNP Scottish Government are playing fast and loose with public finances in the name of creating unnecessary divisions and tensions with Westminster.
"The Scottish Government was last night accused by Labour of being "utterly irresponsible" with taxpayers' money after deciding to continue overpaying pension payouts to thousands of retired Scottish public sector workers."
