Kirsty McNeill

Labour (Co-op) — Midlothian

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Make Work Pay Plan

Contribution

I have not had that chance, but I would be delighted to do so. Scottish education is, of course, devolved to the SNP Government. SNP Members should think long and hard about the fact that they have claimed that it is their No. 1 priority and yet the attainment gap is growing. Working-class kids’ education and exam results were explicitly downgraded by the serving First Minister. We would be delighted to partner with anyone across these islands who wants to increase educational opportunity for our young people.
