A leading children’s charity has said Humza Yousaf’s Programme for Government represented a “timid step forward” in the fight against poverty.
The First Minister said he would push to end the “scourge of poverty” as he announced his first legislative agenda since taking over the top job, confirming £400 million would be invested in the Scottish Child Payment and social care staff along with some in the childcare sector would see pay increase to at least £12 per hour from April.
