Asked whether Scottish independence would mean the end of the pound for Scotland, the PMOS said that we had set out our consultation on the legal position and that the shape of independence was a matter for Alex Salmond.
Then asked whether the Prime Minister was concerned that issue of the pound would damage the rest of the UK, she said that there was a strong economic case for the Union but it is up to Scotland to detail any currency issue.
Asked whether the Prime Minister would resign if Scotland votes for independent (as suggested by Lord Ashcroft), she said that the important thing to focus on was the consultation.
