Scottish Labour will offer every adult in Scotland £75 to spend in non-food retail in an attempt to boost high streets.
Leader Anas Sarwar said he hopes the policy will save the nation’s high streets from further decline.
Under the £341 million offer, everyone over the age of 16 would be given a prepaid card for use in a non-food store, which would be time limited for six months.
Any cash left over from the scheme, the party says, would be donated to Scottish food banks.
