A fifth of parents in Scotland are feeding family members before themselves due to the cost-of-living crisis, research has found.

The survey for Which? found 22% of parents in the Scottish survey are prioritising feeding other family members over feeding themselves, compared with 8% of the population overall.

Around one in 10 respondents (11%) said they are skipping meals due to rising food costs. The survey carried out by Yonder questioned more than 1,000 consumers in Scotland to understand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
