YOUNG people from across Scotland are being given the chance to grill Nicola Sturgeon live on TV.

Around 100 youngsters will take part in First Minister’s Question Time: Next Generation, in April.

National charities Children in Scotland and YouthLink Scotland are again leading the project, with STV returning as media partner.

The initial First Minister’s Question Time: Next Generation was shown during STV’s Scotland Tonight slot on September 13 last year and the online video version was viewed more than 250,000 times on STV social media accounts.
