Scottish households would be more than £10,000 better off per year if the country was independent, a Government paper has suggested.

The Fresh Start With Independence document published on Wednesday made the claim off the back of an assessment from the Resolution Foundation, which found UK households would see an £8,300 per year bounce if the average income and inequality was the same as other countries of a similar size.
