First Minister John Swinney will call on MSPs to unanimously back Scotland’s right to decide its own future in Parliament next week.

Mr Swinney claimed the movement for self-determination in Scotland is “gathering pace” and he argued there was a growing acceptance on all sides that Westminster’s position of vetoing democracy was unsustainable.
