SNP bid to amend Scotland Act to allow Holyrood to hold indyref2

THE SNP group in Westminster is launching a bid to allow amendments to the Scotland Act so that Holyrood can hold an independence referendum.

The party is set to use its Opposition Day debate on Wednesday afternoon to bring forward a motion which seeks to take over the House of Commons order paper on January 10, 2023.
