First minister unveils plans to boost free childcare and promises consultation on banning sale of single-use vapes
Humza Yousaf has announced plans for expanded free childcare and school lunches, a move to ban single-use vapes and a law to criminalise misogynistic abuse in a programme that was immediately dismissed by opposition leaders as a rehash of existing commitments.
Yousaf said that his programme for government – the Holyrood equivalent of the king’s speech – was “unashamedly anti-poverty and pro-growth”, with a deliberate focus on supporting women, who are “disproportionately affected by the pressures of modern life”.
