Watch the debate on SPTV
That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the Scottish Government’s comprehensive guide to an independent Scotland; agrees that it is better for everyone in Scotland if decisions about the country’s future are taken by the people who care most about Scotland, the people who live and work here; recognises the detailed analysis of the opportunities, benefits and practicalities of independence set out in the white paper, and its comprehensive answers to questions about independence, and looks forward to a positive national debate on independence for Scotland, with contributions from all perspectives and from all sectors of Scottish society, before the historic vote on 18 September 2014.
