THE UK Government is bidding for a repeat of a tribunal hearing it has already lost as the protracted battle to force the Tories to publish secret polling on the Union enters its fifth year.
Tommy Sheppard MP, the SNP’s constitution spokesperson at Westminster, said that Rishi Sunak’s government should publish the information and end the “unnecessary and expensive game of cat and mouse”.
It comes after the Westminster government was ordered by a First Tier Tribunal (FTT) to release its internal surveys on Scottish independence following a Freedom of Information request from Sheppard – which was first put in in the summer of 2019.
