EVERY council in Scotland would have to offer parents free reusable nappies under plans by a Labour MSP.
Monica Lennon's amendments to the Scottish Government's Circular Economy Bill - to be debated in the coming weeks would give local authorities until April 2026 to introduce a scheme.
We revealed last year how only five of Scotland's 32 councils offered some form of initiative for reusable nappies, also known as real or cloth nappies.
Lennon said hard-up Scots could save hundreds of pounds a year and help the planet by switching from disposable nappies.
In 2019, North Ayrshire Council became the first to introduce free "birth to potty" reusables, with the scheme so popular there is now a waiting list.
