Nicola Sturgeon has signalled she could ditch plans to cut air departure tax.

The Scottish government has promised to legislate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2045.

Nicola Sturgeon was challenged on proposals for a devolved air departure tax - which would be 50% lower than the current air passenger duty.

Alison Johnstone and Richard Leonard both called on the first minister to scrap the plans.

Ms Sturgeon said the government would have to review every policy in order to meet the new climate change targets.

"Setting targets is one thing, having the policy programme in place to meet them is what matters," she added.
