Ms Sturgeon says: "I can confirm that we will lift the 1% public sector pay cap."

Ms Sturgeon says her government will introduce a Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility Bill to increase the minimum age of responsibility from eight to 12, in line with international norms.

She says her government will not oppose John Finnie's proposals to prohibit the physical punishment of children.

Ms Sturgeon highlights the new Planning Bill and Warm Homes bill.

She says her government is not prepared to tolerate the increase in homelessness and rough sleeping.

The first minister says: "We must eradicate rough sleeping."

"We will therefore establish a short life expert group to make urgent recommendations on the actions, services and legislative changes required to end rough sleeping and transform the use of temporary accommodation."

"To support its recommendations, we will establish a new £10m-a-year 'Ending Homelessness Together' Fund."

Ms Sturgeon says: "I can confirm that the Scottish government will work with interested local authorities to fund research into the concept and feasibility of a citizens' basic income, to help inform parliament's thinking for the future."

Ms Sturgeon says the Child Poverty Bill - which sets statutory targets to tackle child poverty - will also complete its parliamentary passage later this year.

The first minister says: "I am extremely proud that Scotland is one of the first countries in the world to tackle ‘period poverty’ through the current pilot scheme in Aberdeen - and I welcome the cross party support for that approach.

"We will consider further action to help women on low incomes across Scotland in light of our learning from the pilot.

"However, I can confirm today that we will provide free access to sanitary products to students in schools, colleges and universities."

The first minister says: "Over the next year, we will continue our work to build a Scottish social security system based on dignity and respect.

"The Social Security Bill will complete its passage."

Ms Sturgeon says: In the coming year, the Vulnerable Witnesses and Pre-Recorded Evidence Bill will also be introduced, to reduce even further the need for children and other vulnerable witnesses to give evidence live in a courtroom.

The first minister says the government will introduce a Sexual Offences (Pardons and Disregards) Bill.

It will ensure that people convicted of offences related to same-sex sexual activity that is now legal will receive an automatic pardon.

The bill will also enable those pardoned to apply to have such convictions removed from criminal records.

She says: "Above all this bill will right a historic wrong and give justice to those who found themselves unjustly criminalised simply because of who they loved."

Ms Sturgeon says: "I can announce today that we will extend the presumption against short-term sentences from three months to 12 months."

Ms Sturgeon says: "The Organ and Tissue Donation Bill will establish - with appropriate safeguards - a 'soft' opt-out system for the authorisation of organ and tissue donation, to allow even more lives to be saved by the precious gift of organ donation."

Ms Sturgeon says: "I am pleased to announce that we will now begin work to fully implement Frank's Law."

Frank's Law - named after Frank Kopel - advocates the extension of free personal care to the under 65s

Ms Sturgeon says: "I can announce that we will take forward a new strategy to tackle obesity, including measures to restrict the marketing of foods high in fat, sugar or salt."

Ms Sturgeon says: "We will ensure that the NHS budget continues to grow - we will deliver at least a real terms increase in the revenue budget next year as part of our commitment to increase funding by a further £2bn by the end of this parliament."

Ms Sturgeon says: "I can confirm today that we will design and introduce a deposit return scheme for drinks containers, as an important part of our determination to tackle litter and clean up our streets.

"For the sake, not just of our environment, but of our health, we will also take further steps to support walking and cycling - active travel - by doubling the amount spent on it within Transport Scotland's budget from £40m to £80m a year."

The first minister says: "In the coming year, we will introduce a new Climate Change Bill that will set even more ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and ensure that we meet our obligations under the Paris Accord.

She says: "We have already committed to the introduction of a Low Emissions Zone in one of our cities by the end of next year and we will confirm its location shortly."

"However, I can announce today that we will go further. We will work with local authorities to introduce low emission zones in each of our four biggest cities by 2020 and in all other Air Quality Management Areas where necessary by 2023."

Ms Sturgeon says the transition from petrol and diesel cars and vans to electric and other ultra-low emission vehicles is under way and gathering pace.

She says: "We intend to put Scotland at the forefront of that transition."

"I am announcing today an ambitious new target.

"Our aim is for new petrol and diesel cars and vans to be phased out in Scotland by 2032 - the end of the period covered by our new Climate Change Plan and eight years ahead of the target set by the UK government."

Ms Sturgeon says her government will identify a public body that will be able to make a robust, public sector bid for the next ScotRail franchise.

This is met with applause from the SNP backbenches.
