SNP health secretary to sue nursery in Dundee

Court action is to be taken against a nursery in Dundee which allegedly rejected the daughter of Scotland’s health secretary and his wife.

Humza Yousaf and Nadia El-nakla applied for a place for young Amal at the Little Scholars Day Nursery in Broughty Ferry, but were turned down with the facility claiming there was no space. But just two days later, a white friend of the couple was told there were spaces for her son on three afternoons every week.

Mr Yousaf and Ms El-nakla reported the nursery to the Care Inspectorate but also instructed solicitor Aamer Anwar to initiate legal proceedings.
