The Business - 29/11/2009

Graham Stewart is joined by Colin McLean, the co-founder of Edinburgh-based SVM Asset Management, and Colin Borland of the Federation of Small Businesses to discuss the week's business stories. Dougie Adams, senior economic advisor at Ernst & Young's Item Club, gives his prognosis for the Scottish economy. The Club's report suggests that Scotland's growth will continue to lag behind the rest of the UK's, with "disturbing weaknesses" in the economy and job cuts expected to continue. And Gillian Sharpe reports on the growing number of freelancers and what they contribute to the economy.
