- The SNP is not against new oil and gas licences, Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes has said.
Developments in the North Sea, though, would need to meet “climate compatibility tests” to be supported by the Scottish Government, she said.
It comes as First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney did not confirm whether his party would move away from its previous presumption against new licences.
While he previously told journalists of the need for a “managed transition”, Ms Forbes has moved a step further, saying the party is “clear” on its strategy.
Speaking to journalists during a General Election campaign visit to Linlithgow, West Lothian, the Deputy First Minister said: “We’ve been clear that we’re not against new licences per se, but they have to meet a climate compatibility test.

Who lost £ 33,000,000 of 'ring fenced' agriculture funds - it was the SNP !
She gave up her faith for a job , wouldn’t trust her with my boys pocket money
She has not given up her faith, quite the contrast
@@jamieoneill668 you think , she doesn’t defend her religion, she would rather keep the minority happy
Who stole £61m from Scotland farmers yes the snp
NO you have not been clear AND what are the climate compatibility tests? - They aren't documented anywhere !
That’s a lie
She's deluded
Blah blah blah blah blah
Forbes has abandoned the moral high ground in exchange for a better place at the trough ....
Mad as a box o frogs the lot o them.
Calamity Kate
😂😂😂 the SNP forget about Scotland 1/2 million getting handed back while people are struggling surprise surprise Scotland taken out of the EU 6 years after they voted to leave the EU they think everyone in Scotland is stupid not just their hard core supporters
scotland voted to stay by a majority in the eu spew what you want but at least get the facts right
@@mfslotsall SNP in Westminster abstained on the Brexit vote
@@mfslotsit was a UK wide vote, not a country by country vote. More people in the UK voted to leave - get over it. Here is something to chew over - more Scots voted to leave the EU than voted Yes in the 2014 indie vote.
@mfslots Scotland would have taken us out of th EU if we became independent ..
@@mfslots still trying to find the usual SNP spin to blame someone else for the SNP voting to take Scotland out of the EU? Good luck with that.
Forbes would be a better Reform Scotland candidate - park Indy and get on with governing Scotland for all scots
Forbes would be better sticking to being a mother n forget about politics she’s an out n out LIAR
MSP speaks with forked tongue.
All lies
It's all a game a well payed game for the players and the bonus of a generous expense account. No wonder the all believe in "Democracy."
Wouldn't believe anything that this shower say.
Anything to get a vote - what a load of spin

Scottish sun can’t spell….were should be we are…🤡🤡🤡🤡
