Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth stated that the Scottish government aims to roll out universal free school meals in primary schools but lacks the necessary funding due to significant financial constraints, citing a need to plug a £256m gap.
Scottish Conservative education spokesperson Liam Kerr criticized the SNP, claiming they have 'shamefully betrayed Scotland's poorest pupils' by not fulfilling their promise to provide free school meals for all primary pupils.
The government lost its parliamentary majority due to the end of a power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens, now relying on opposition support to win votes.
