Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon yesterday said she will push ahead
with plans for a second Scottish independence referendum within the next
two years if the UK quits the European Union.
While Ms Sturgeon said she wants to have cross-party talks with opposition leaders about Scotland's future in the wake of Brexit, she also announced that new legislation laying down the rules for a future referendum would be introduced "shortly" at Holyrood.
Plans for this framework Bill, along with the creation of a new Citizens Assembly, were announced in a statement to Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) on Wednesday.
She told them: "I can confirm that the Scottish government will act to ensure that the option of giving people a choice on independence later in this term of parliament is progressed."
