Finance secretary Kate Forbes says Scotland will commit to low carbon and invest in free school meals
Scottish ministers have promised record spending on cutting climate emissions and on housing improvements, in a budget that also put heavy emphasis on tackling poverty and low pay.
Kate Forbes, the finance secretary, said the Scottish government would invest £2bn in low-carbon spending and record sums in childhood poverty measures, adult disability, free school meals, and free bus travel for all young people. There was also a record £18bn for the health service and social care.
