Under the last Labour government, absolute child poverty levels in Scotland fell from 40% in 1997 to 20% in 2007. However, this has all but been reversed.

The SNP are not even on track to meet their own goal of lowering child poverty to under 10 per cent by 2030!

Despite shouts from the SNP benches, I asked the Government what steps they are taking to ensure that child poverty returns to the low levels last seen under the last Labour government.

The Conservatives in Westminster and the SNP in Holyrood have failed to deliver for Scotland. Only Labour, winning in Westminster and in Scotland, can tackle the important issues for our country.
