Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 21 July 2010 on behalf of the Scotland Office.


Advocate-General

Question
Will the Minister share with the House whether or not the Advocate-General has given a view on the timing of a referendum on independence, as proposed by the Scottish Government?
Answer

As far as I am aware, the Scottish Government appear to have abandoned their proposal for a referendum on independence, especially after 80% of voters in Scotland at the recent general election voted for parties that support the Union.
