A DECISION from the UK’s top court ruling Holyrood does have the powers to hold an independence referendum will not necessarily break the political “deadlock” over the issue, it has been predicted.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments for and against the Scottish Parliament being able to pass a draft independence referendum bill over two days on October 11 and 12.
It will be a key moment in the Scottish Government’s plans to hold a vote on whether Scotland should leave the UK next year.
