POLITICIANS and campaigners have called on Holyrood to seize the chance to end hunger once and for all in Scotland.

Central Scotland Labour MSP Elaine Smith has lodged a final proposal in the Scottish Parliament for her Right to Food Member’s Bill which seeks to enshrine the UN-recognised human right to food into Scottish law.

Ms Smith, who will retire in May, has warned inequality and poverty have been exacerbated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and said that the time has come to put a stop to hunger across Scotland.
