Meghan Gallacher: “Labour promised £150 million to help meet that pressure, but families and schools are still waiting to see it.”

Labour’s VAT raid on school fees is looking increasingly indefensible, yet they seem determined to plough on regardless of the mounting evidence that their policy is hurting families and schools.

Given this broken promise, can you please confirm whether any formal risk to the approval or deliverability of the Monklands Hospital business case was recorded on any official Scottish Government risk register before polling day.

Private schools are under mounting financial pressure, while state schools are being left to pick up the pieces as more pupils transfer across.

Cynics will be asking why the former health secretary Neil Gray was still claiming that everything was on track for the new Monklands Hospital just weeks before the Holyrood election.
