Scotland's papers: 'Outrage' over glass-free recycling and Holly hurt
- Published
The Scottish Sunday Express leads on the UK government giving the go-ahead to a deposit return scheme (DRS) pilot in Scotland. It reports members of the SNP and Scottish Greens were "outraged" by a last minute change that excludes glass from the scheme. MSPs claimed the late decision to remove glass from the scheme is "treating the Scottish parliament with contempt" but the paper says that industry groups have welcomed the move.
The Sunday National leads on Scottish Tories being accused of playing "cynical and opportunist political games" after saying that glass should be removed from Scotland's deposit return scheme. The paper says that the party has backtracked on previous demands to include glass in the scheme.
For the second day running, several of Sunday's papers are leading with coverage of ITV presenter Phillip Schofield's affair. The Scottish Sun on Sunday has turned its focus to reaction from his former co-presenter, Holly Willoughby. The paper reports Ms Willoughby and two other This Morning stars are considering quitting the ITV show in the wake of the revelation. The show itself may even face the chop, according to the paper.
The Scottish Mail on Sunday also leads on the affair. It claims the younger male involved was 15 when he first met Mr Schofield at a talk he was delivering at a theatre school. The paper says the schoolboy asked him for a job, and Mr Schofield later arranged an interview for him. It led to a position as an ITV production assistant when he turned 18, and some time afterwards their affair began, the paper reports. The paper's front page previews the "unvarnished full story" by journalist Katie Hind - the reporter the paper says Mr Schofield lied to.
The Sunday Mail leads on a grieving widow being added to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's "social listening" list. An FOI request found that her social media details were shared with staff, and the paper reports that mentions of her dead husband were monitored as well. She had previously been critical of how the health board treated her husband.
Around 327,000 people are waiting for social housing in Scotland, including 100,000 children, Scotland on Sunday reports. Charities say the situation has been worsened by decades of underinvestment.
A poverty charity has found that almost 10% of families with a child under the age of two have used a foodbank. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation's associate director told the Sunday Post that maternity and paternity support is "woefully inadequate".
A victim of a paedophile priest told the Herald on Sunday that he needed to flee to Scotland rebuild his life. He was just ten when the abuse began. Alongside other victims, he is trying to find out whether the man was a police informer during The Troubles and why police delayed acting on his offending.
