SNP’s separation referendum delay is damaging for Scotland

The Chairman of CBI Scotland has voiced concern about the timing of the SNP's separation referendum.

David McLetchie MSP, Scottish Conservative Constitution Spokesperson, said:

"The SNP Government spent four years as a minority government calling for a referendum. Now they have the means to achieve it, and instead they want to delay. CBI Scotland is right; we can ill afford years of uncertainty just to fit in with Alex Salmond's politicking.

"We want a Scotland which is comfortable with its present and optimistic about its future – we cannot achieve that whilst the SNP'S separation referendum is dangled in front of us. Let's move forward and have the referendum as soon as possible."
