Humza Yousaf has been accused of falling behind London, Wales and even one of Scotland’s own councils in delivering on promised free school meals.
The Scottish Government provides lunch for P1-5 pupils but has failed to make good on a commitment to extend the policy to all primary children along with a pilot rollout in secondary schools.
That is despite dire warnings from teachers, unions and the outgoing Children and Young People’s Commissioner Bruce Adamson that the policy is desperately needed to fight rocketing child poverty.
