Humza Yousaf has outlined “radical” plans for an independent Scotland to have a written constitution – saying such a document could protect workers’ rights to strike and guarantee healthcare that is “free at the point of need”.
The First Minister also made clear the Scottish National Party-led Scottish Government would want a new constitution for the country to rule out Scotland being a home for nuclear weapons.
With a final constitution only being developed after Scotland has voted for independence - and not coming into force until after people have backed it in a referendum - the SNP leader conceded he could not say for certain what would be in such a document.
