Environmental group Friends of the Earth Scotland accuses the Scottish Government of breaching the ministerial code 28 times over a proposed gas-fired power station in Aberdeenshire.

Friends of the Earth Scotland has accused the Scottish Government of breaching the ministerial code 28 times over plans for a new gas-fired power station in Aberdeenshire. The environmental group claims ministers and civil servants treated the proposed development as a "foregone conclusion." Critics argue the power station would cause pollution and hinder climate and emission reduction targets.
