‘We will bring proposals’

NICOLA STURGEON told the SNP conference last week that the Scottish Government would bring forward “specific proposals” aimed at protecting Scotland’s interests in Europe and keeping the country in the single market ‘’even if the rest of the UK decides to leave’’.

In a direct message to the Prime Minister, Ms Sturgeon said: “If you think for one single second that I’m not serious about doing what it takes to protect Scotland’s interests, then think again.

“If you can’t - or won’t - allow us to protect our interests within the UK, then Scotland will have the right to decide, afresh, if it wants to take a different path.”
