FM would like referendum in ‘early part of next parliament’
Nicola Sturgeon has said she would like to have a Scottish independence referendum “in the earlier part of the next parliament”.
The first minister was speaking ahead of the SNP conference, with the Scottish Parliament elections being held in May, 2021.
Ms Sturgeon, however, said her full focus right now is dealing with coronavirus.
She said Scotland, like all countries, will have to ask itself what type of society it wants to be once it emerges from the pandemic.
