Nicola Sturgeon says she will be 'frank' about English border challenges

Nicola Sturgeon said the Government needs to set out how it would deal with regulatory and customs issues around goods 'in a way that isn't damaging to businesses'

NICOLA Sturgeon has said she will be “frank” about the challenges a border between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK would pose but insisted the benefits of independence would far outweigh them. 

The First Minister said she would set out more detail on how trade would work between Scotland and the rest of the UK in future papers which will form her independence prospectus.
