Jackie Baillie has slammed the SNP for failing to keep their promise to provide all pupils in West Dunbartonshire, Helensburgh and Lomond with laptops or tablets as it emerged local councils have only been able to purchase new devices for 15 percent of pupils.

During the 2021 Holyrood election campaign, the SNP claimed they would deliver “into the hands of every school child in Scotland a laptop, Chromebook or tablet to use in school and at home”.

But 18 months on, just a fraction of new devices have been able to be purchased by West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute Councils with Scottish Government funding.
