A Lanarkshire MSP has slammed SNP plans to cut funding to tackle the attainment gap in North Lanarkshire.
Scottish Conservative Meghan Gallacher's call comes after the SNP outlined plans for the money to be invested in the 'strategic equity fund', as part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge.
However, Ms Gallacher says that, as part of the funding - which covers 2022/2023 until 2025/26 - cuts have been made by the SNP in nine council areas including North Lanarkshire.
