Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what the Government's position is on the outcome of the Smith Commission and its commitment that nothing in that report prevents Scotland becoming an independent country in the future should the people of Scotland so choose.

The Scotland Act 2016 has been recognised as delivering the recommendations of the Smith Commission Agreement in full. Rather than talking about another referendum, the UK Government is focused on working to address the collective challenges we face, such as tackling the cost of living and growing our economy.
