Asked if the Secretary of State for Scotland, Michael Moore had spoken at Cabinet about the Scottish referendum, the PMS said that Michael Moore had updated Cabinet on the issues related to Scotland following on from the elections last week.
Asked if the Prime Minister contributed to the conversation, the PMS said yes. The Prime Minister repeated what we had been saying publicly, that this was a matter for the Scottish Parliament and we wouldn’t stand in the way of a referendum.
Asked if the Prime Minister accepted that a referendum would be politically binding as opposed to legally binding and that this meant a second referendum would be needed, the PMS said that he would not get into speculating about the process.
