SNP’S SECRET INDYREF PLANS HIGHLIGHT IMPACT ON PUBLIC SERVICES

Freedom of Information documents published by the Scottish Conservatives have revealed the impact on key domestic issues as part of SNP plans for a second independence referendum.

Responding to the revelations, Pamela Nash, chief executive of Scotland in Union, said:

“These bombshell documents reveal the devastating impact of a divisive and unwanted second independence referendum on vital public services in Scotland.

“Another referendum would be a huge distraction for the civil service, meaning services such as schools and hospitals would be neglected.

“That’s why barely a quarter of people in Scotland support another contest before 2021 as threatened by Nicola Sturgeon.

“We don’t need another Scexit referendum, we need a government that focuses on the day job it was elected to do.”
