UK Government urges Supreme Court to throw out case for indyref2

The Supreme Court has been asked to rule on whether the Scottish Government has the power to hold indyref2

THE UK Government has lodged papers with the Supreme Court arguing that the Scottish Government’s bid to legislate for a second independence referendum should be thrown out.

The papers make clear the Tory government's view that an indyref2 bill would be outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
