The number of children living in poverty has risen for the first time in more than a decade, figures have revealed.
Official statistics showed there were 210,000 youngsters in Scotland who were classed as being in relative poverty in 2008-09.
That is a rise of 10,000 on the previous year and means 21% of children are now affected by the problem.
Another success for the reformers !!!
