ALEX Salmond's attempts to boost the Scottish Executive's green credentials backfired yesterday as it emerged that the hybrid cars he is trialling are more polluting than those they could replace.
The First Minister and his colleagues are to test-drive two electric-petrol Lexus GS 450h saloons as possible successors to their current LPG-fuelled Volvo S80 SE cars.
