Remembering Firefighter Adrian McGill

SOMcGill 1

It was a privilege to meet Shirley, daughter of fallen firefighter Adrian McGill. His bravery and selflessness saved several but cost Adrian his life 50 years ago during a Maryhill Road fire. The Fire Brigade's Union plaque unveiled today is a poignant tribute and I was pleased to mark occasion in the Scottish Parliament as well.

Scottish Child Payment Increase

The Scottish Child Payment has been increased from £20 to £25 per week per child, meaning 22,830 families in Glasgow are set to receive a boost to their household incomes from the Scottish Government. This is now £100 every 4 weeks.

Disability Payments (Means Testing)

The UK Government are considering means testing disability payments. Today in the Scottish Parliament I asked the Deputy First Minister if the Scottish Government will rule out such an approach here.

Supporting Scotland's Baby Box

Scotland’s BabyBox will help families prepare for the arrival of their baby and contains essential items that they will need in the first 6 months. This is an entitlement for every newborn baby born and living in Scotland.
