Free School Meals for all Primary Pupils: Amendment 3

  • Submitted by: Jenny Gilruth, Mid Fife and Glenrothes, Scottish National Party
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 10 September 2024
  • Motion type: Amendment
  • Motion reference: S6M-14406.3
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 11 September 2024

As an amendment to motion S6M-14406 in the name of Liam Kerr (Free School Meals for all Primary Pupils), insert at end "; notes, however, that the impact of the austerity agenda pursued by the previous Conservative and current Labour UK administrations has reduced the value of Scotland’s budget, meaning that the required combined capital and revenue funding of £256 million is not available to deliver fully during the current parliamentary session; recommits the Scottish Government to full universal delivery for all primary pupils when the budgetary position allows; recognises the progress that has already been made with the delivery of free school meals to all children in P1 to P5, special schools, as well as eligible pupils in P6 to S6; welcomes that the Scottish Government will now make further progress with expansion to P6 and P7 pupils in receipt of the Scottish Child Payment, which will see an additional 26,000 children benefit, and calls on the UK Government to change its fiscal rules to end austerity and allow increased investment in public services to eradicate child poverty."
