First Minister John Swinney will push the UK Government for Holyrood control over energy policy if his party wins May’s election, he has said.
Speaking ahead of a visit to the north-east of Scotland, Mr Swinney said an SNP-run government – which would be returned to power after a fifth straight election victory – would draft a Section 30 order that would give the Scottish Parliament powers over energy on the first day after his re-election as First Minister.
