Too few migrants are coming to Scotland, say SNP
SNP minister Mairi McAllan says "too few" migrants are coming to Scotland, and that migration is "good and necessary" for the economy.
She was speaking on BBC Scotland's The Sunday Show as part of a Holyrood election debate on immigration with representatives from six political parties.

China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US
The recent surge in fuel prices due to the war in Iran has spurred demand for electric vehicles around the world, and Chinese car makers are making the most of the opportunity.

UK's biggest ever environmental pollution claim reaches High Court
One of the UK's largest chicken producers and a water company will be in the High Court on Monday accused of polluting the rivers Wye, Lugg and Usk.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, a teacher from California, was arrested uninjured after an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service agents.

Allen is expected to appear in court on Monday.
Angela Rayner eyes clear run as tax saga will end ‘within weeks’
Angela Rayner’s allies are “hopeful” that an investigation into her tax affairs will conclude before May’s local elections.
The former deputy prime minister is understood to be weeks away from the conclusion of an HM Revenue & Customs investigation into her tax affairs, paving the way for a return to frontline politics — and a shot at winning the Labour leadership.
