Details

A handy summary of the Scotland analysis paper on devolution and the legal implications of Scottish independence.

Ahead of the Scottish independence referendum, to inform the debate about Scotland’s constitutional future, the UK government is undertaking a programme of analysis on Scotland’s place in the UK and how it contributes to and benefits from being part of the UK.

The work is designed to provide people in Scotland with the facts and figures that are currently unknown or taken for granted, and explain how the UK in its current form works.
