One month left – what’s Plan B?

Scottish Conservatives press release

 

Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont has challenged Alex Salmond to name his currency Plan B – with just a month before voters go to the polls. The First Minister’s bid to share the pound with the rest of the UK in the event of independence has been ruled out by the Chancellor and his opposite numbers. But, despite previously saying he had “a plan B, C, D, E and F”, he has yet to say what his preference would be. Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont MSP said: "The Nationalists have had eighty years to plan for independence and yet with a month to go before the referendum they can't answer the most basic question of all - what money would we use?

"Alex Salmond's plan to keep the pound in a currency union isn't going to happen. He needs to tell us his Plan B and time is rapidly running out for him to come clean with the people of Scotland.Thousands will be voting by post in just a couple of weeks. Enough of the ducking and diving - it's time for the SNP to tell us what would happen if Scotland separates from the UK."
