Boyack posted missing for crucial green debate

- PAUL HUTCHEON

SCOTTISH Labour's net zero chief missed the vote on a new climate change law after jetting out for a Commonwealth conference in Australia.

Sarah Boyack missed a Holyrood debate on green targets because she and fellow MSPs Jeremy Balfour and Stuart McMillan were 10,000 miles away in Sydney.

Holyrood has estimated the cost to the taxpayer for the trip is £32,800.
