BBC NEWS | Scotland | Fresh bid for free school meals

A new bill aimed at giving free school meals to every child is being brought forward by the Scottish Socialist Party (SSP).

Similar legislation failed to gain enough support in the last parliament.

A commitment to delivering nutritious meals and free milk or drinking water for pupils was one of the SSP's core manifesto pledges.

The plans are backed by health and poverty campaigners, trade unions and some church groups and are estimated to cost about Ł174m a year.
