The Green and Labour MSPs banded together for a joint fact-finding mission to North Ayrshire's pioneering scheme to provide new parents with money-saving cloth nappies.
MSP Monica Lennon’s campaign to roll out free reusable nappies to all low-income parents has been boosted by a joint visit to a trailblazing scheme with minister Lorna Slater. .
In 2019, North Ayrshire Council became the first local authority in the UK to offer families birth-to-potty ‘real nappy’ packs.
