An urgent motion calling for reports on damp and mould in West Lothian council homes after the death of a child in England has been delayed - as the same topic is to be discussed by the council this week.

That came after a report in the aftermath of the death in Greater Manchester of two year old Awaad Ishak. A coroner ruled that the boy's death had been caused by damp and mould in his rented home.
