First Minister John Swinney criticizes West Lothian Councils decision to cut funding for private nursery spots used by non-residents, affecting around 100 children. The council aims to save over £700,000 and safeguard spots for over 3,000 local kids. Swinney argues against the move, while Fitzpatrick defends it, emphasizing the councils duty to prioritize residents. The debate reflects broader tensions over early learning expansion and local versus national priorities.
