Alister Jack insists Tories won't try to 'gerrymander' any second referendum

Alister Jack said no changes would be made that would allow an independence referendum to go ahead

SCOTTISH Secretary Alister Jack has denied that the UK Government will seek to change the law to "gerrymander" any second independence referendum.

It was reported last week that UK ministers were looking into plans to impose new barriers to Scottish independence by legislating that more than half of Scotland’s entire electorate would have to vote Yes for the result to be accepted.
