Although he said full clients for both spaces will be presented until next year, Murray added that there were considerations on the long-term social coverage and schooling, whether funded by local authorities.
In response to a question from committee leader James Dornan about Covid-19’s effect on local government, he told MSPs: “The committee has been investigating the dangers of social coverage for many years.
“Social coverage has been largely affected through Covid-19. It is fair to say that there will be genuine considerations about social care in the future.
The British are flocking to the PORTUGAL ALGARVE THAT ARE ELEVATED
Portugal is sending border reinforcements to a sunny Algarve airport as the government struggles to cope with the rise of arrivals of British tourists after quarantine regulations were lifted last week.
The resolution of sending more agents to Faro Airport on Portugal’s southern coast, a popular destination for the British, came after a photo shared online through a lawmaker on Thursday showed a long queue of socially estranged tourists.
“The airport has been sent home, the airport is not quite ready for the avalanche of people arriving,” a Twitter user commented in the photo.
“The English exchanged holidays in Spain and France when they came to the Algarve. Special measures are urgently needed.”

I sense how complicated it has been and I appreciate the sacrifice other people have made.
“If we continue down this path, I hope that all parts of Lancashire will soon see the remaining restrictions lifted, but it depends on others complying with regulations anywhere in the county where they live and continue to practice social distance, washing their hands regularly, wearing a mask when they do and comply with recommendations given to them if they communicate with them through NHS Test and Trace.”
