THE first step in the SNP’s bid to amend the Scotland Act to allow Holyrood to legislate for indyref2 has been hit with an early delay after the House of Commons was suspended due to a visit from King Charles.
Stephen Flynn’s Westminster group had been due to lead an Opposition Day debate on Wednesday afternoon to bring forward a motion seeking to take over the House of Commons order paper on January 10, 2023.
The SNP would then use that time to introduce a Scotland Act 1998 (Amendment) Bill which would seek to alter what is reserved to Westminster under the act.
