Holyrood to receive £150m cash boost from Labour plan to slap VAT on school fees

EXCLUSIVE: Labour MP Ian Murray said he 'absolutely' supported the policy even though a number of his constituents would be affected.

Murray has a three year old daughter and said she would attend a state school: ”I’m a Western Hailes boy.”
