Scotland can ill afford further delay on referendum

A report by financial giant Citigroup has advised those who are interested in investing in renewables in Scotland to 'exercise extreme caution' due to the possibility of increasing uncertainty over independence in Scotland.

Commenting on the report, David McLetchie MSP said:

"This is further evidence that the uncertainty surrounding the independence referendum is starting to create uncertainty amongst the business community which is damaging to Scotland's interests. We have repeatedly called for the SNP to set a single question and to set a date as soon as possible for the referendum so we can settle this matter once and for all.

"With businesses being advised not to invest in Scotland until this is resolved we can ill afford any further delay. We need to start concentrating on what Scotland needs, rather than on Alex Salmond's narrow minded independence agenda."
