Scottish Labour MSP lodges proposal for Right to Food draft Bill
Rhoda Grant
A SCOTTISH Labour MSP has lodged a proposal for a draft Bill which would see the right to food enshrined in Scots law.
Highlands & Islands Labour MSP Rhoda Grant has put forward the Right to Food (Scotland) Bill, which seeks to enshrine the right in law, and have an independent statutory body to oversee food policy to ensure no-one goes hungry in Scotland.
The passage of this Bill would mean that the Scottish government would have responsibility for ensuring that food is available, accessible and adequate for everyone.
