The Scottish Government spends more than £1m a year on car travel for ministers, it has emerged.

New figures released under a freedom of information request by the Scottish Conservatives found the devolved administration had spent almost £1.15m on its car service in the last financial year.

The Conservatives accused the SNP of “pretending to run a green-friendly government” after accumulating a seven-figure bill for ministerial transport.
