Gove says referendum will occur if there is ‘a settled will in favour’, as Ian Blackford says voters have already spoken
The UK government would not stand in the way of another vote on Scottish independence if it is the “settled will” of voters, Michael Gove has said.
Westminster has repeatedly rejected requests from the Scottish government for the necessary powers to hold another vote but the Cabinet Office minister said if the public desire a second referendum, “one would occur”.
