Scotland is on the “cusp of making history” by voting for independence, the country’s first minister has predicted. First Minister Alex Salmond described the referendum as a “process of national empowerment”.
Several banks have revealed their contingency plans for a ‘Yes’ vote. labour leader Ed Miliband said a ‘No’ vote would deliver stronger devolved powers for Scotland.
Salmond called for an inquiry into what he said was the leaking of sensitive market data by the Treasury ahead of a formal announcement RBS that it would relocate its registered headquarters to london if Scotland votes for independence. A new poll has suggested the ‘No’ campaign holds a narrow lead ahead of next Thursday’s independence referendum.
