Alex Salmond yesterday announced the publication date of the long-awaited White Paper in his main speech at the SNP’s conference in Perth.
He confirmed the document will be published on Tuesday, November 26, 2013.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP said:
“Alex Salmond's speech was retail politics at its very worst - everything on offer, but with no price-tag attached.
“He is taking the Scottish public for mugs by claiming that they don't need the details, they just need to trust him and everything will be ok.
“It's a big gamble for a man already shown to be untrustworthy on basic issues such as telling the truth about EU legal advice.
“All along, the SNP mantra has been that they don't need to answer questions or give information because everything will be revealed in the White Paper.
“Well, the SNP have set a high bar on what will be in the White Paper and - now that we have a date - if they fail to deliver the public will never forgive them.
“The people of Scotland know that we are better off together as part of the UK and Alex Salmond's own lauding of the country's successful food and drink sector and recovering economy just proves it.”
