THE new minister for climate action has been lobbied at least 20 times by oil and gas firms in the last year.
SNP MSP Gillian Martin is now under pressure not to wobble on the transition to clean energy despite her longstanding connections to the North Sea industry.
The Record can reveal the politician has been lobbied at least once a fortnight by oil and gas-linked companies and groups since she was appointed as energy minister just over a year ago.
Investigative website The Ferret previously revealed Martin spent a decade as a spin doctor for fossil fuel firms prior to getting elected in 2016.
The Aberdeenshire East MSP kept her spot in government in First Minister John Swinney's reshuffle last week - and won the newly created role of Minister for Climate Action.
