A FORMER leader of Scottish Labour has claimed the party may scrap free tuition fees in Scotland if it gains power in Holyrood.
said that if Anas Sarwar were to become first minister following the 2026 Holyrood elections he would “relish the opportunity” to reform public services by potentially scrapping free tuition fees.
Dugdale also claimed that Scotland had “moved on from the constitution” yet called for further devolution in areas such as employment law.“I want immigration powers. There’s a lot of public policy change that I want which in a hyper-polarised binary debate in Scotland somehow turns me into a nationalist.
“So we’ve moved on from the constitution, but we should be able to have a conversation that is about something other than the status quo. “A SNP minority government will no longer be able to ban things in the way that they used to do. They’ll no longer be able to give out free things in the way that it used to do. And they also won’t be able to do the thing I wish they’d done at some point in the past 17 years, which is some serious reform of public services.
