We look forward to taking part in the full range of BBC programming
Responding to publication by the BBC Trust of guidance for the corporation's programme - makers ahead of the Holyrood election, a spokesperson for the Scottish Greens said:
"This is a victory for common sense. Thousands of Scots signed our petition urging the BBC Trust to rethink its ill-considered draft guidance, with Nicola Sturgeon and Kezia Dugdale backing our position.Today's decision reflects the fact that the Scottish Greens are one of five parties that have had a continual presence in the Scottish Parliament.
"With our positive polling, surging membership and a strong figurehead in Patrick Harvie, we look forward to taking part in the full range of BBC programming in the run up to an election that will be crucial in deciding the future direction of our Parliament."
