SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar demanded emergency legislation from Scotland’s government today to help deal with the spiralling cost of living.

Mr Sarwar said there should be a winter evictions ban, rent freeze, cancellation of school meal debt, halving of rail fares and a cap on the cost of bus journeys.

He also said there should be additional cash for “bridging payments” for children in receipt of free school meals and support for businesses.
