Here’s how we’ve delivered for Scotland this week.

Monday

The Islands Bill, which will empower our island communities and grow their economies, was introduced to the Scottish Parliament.

£1.75 billion was allocated to councils to boost affordable housing development, and the house-building sector reached its highest level of activity since the early 1980s.

 


Wednesday

Figures showed Scotland met the 2015 climate emissions target.


And new figures also showed unemployment in Scotland is at its lowest level in 25 years – and lower than the UK average.


Thursday

The Scottish and Welsh governments came together to call for the representation of the devolved administrations in the Brexit negotiations.


Education Secretary John Swinney unveiled new plans to empower schools, teachers and parents.  


Registration for Scotland’s Baby Box kicked off.
