provision has been issued by Glasgow Labour after recent figures showed that 32% of children in the city were living in poverty.
It comes after a report was presented to members of the city administration committee last month which asked councillors to approve £1.6 million of the council’s own money to fund the summer holiday food programme. Councillor Greer’s motion reads: “Council believes the new statistics serve as a wake-up call that further action is required and is therefore deeply disappointed that the Scottish Government has – to date – failed to provide promised funding for the Council’s Holiday Food Programme in 2023 and that this comes amidst suggestions from the Scottish Government that the Summer programme would be targeted rather than universal.
