SNP MSP Kevin Stewart asks the first minister what action the Scottish government is taking to allow more disabled people to access modern apprenticeships.

Ms Sturgeon says less talk and more action is required on the living wage. The first minister says the government will support the Poverty Alliance in achieving 500 companies paying the living wage.

Only 10 of the 50 biggest employers in Scotland said they pay all staff working for them the living wage, according to a BBC investigation.

The living wage is a voluntary hourly rate that is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK. At £7.85 an hour, it is 21% higher than the legally-set minimum wage of £6.50.

The BBC research also showed that most Scottish Premiership football clubs were paying some of their off-pitch staff less than the living wage.

Labour MSP Neil Findlay asks the first minister what progress the Scottish government is making on increasing the number of companies and organisations paying the living wage.

The first minister reiterates her government's opposition to Trident. Ms Sturgeon says a top level inquiry into the allegations that have been made must be started.

SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson asks the first minister what discussions the Scottish government has had with the UK government regarding the safety of Trident nuclear submarines.

Ms Sturgeon says the £100m attainment fund will address many of these issues.

Pupil premium funding is available in England to, external:

• Local-authority-maintained schools, including special schools, pupil referral units (PRUs), and voluntary-sector alternative provision (AP)

• Special schools not maintained by the local authority (NMSS)

• Academies and free schools, including special and AP academies

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

Mr Rennie says the Pupil Premium has closed the education attainment gap in England and it should be introduced in Scotland.

Ms Sturgeon says per pupil spending in Scotland is higher already than in England where the Pupil Premium has been introduced.

Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie calls for the introduction of a Pupil Premium in Scotland?

The first minister says we do need a National Performance Framework in Scotland. Ms Sturgeon insists she is determined to do the hard work that needs to be done to "do right by the children of Scotland".

The first minister says it is to overstate the issue to say that parents have "no idea" how their children are doing in primary school.

Ms Davidson says we need a primary testing system like Denmark and Ontario.

Earlier this years Nicola Sturgeon unveiled plans designed to bridge the attainment gap between pupils from poor backgrounds and those from wealthier households.

• The first minster's proposals will draw on schemes with a proven track record, including the London Challenge.

• The scheme will be backed up by a new Attainment Scotland Fund which will provide £100m of investment over four years.

• It will be aimed at boosting literacy, numeracy and health and well-being in some of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities.
