Bill for Scots independence
A BILL to allow for a referendum on independence for Scotland was introduced in the Lords yesterday by the Liberal Democrat peer the Earl of Mar and Kellie.
Peers gave a formal first reading to the Scotland (Petitions for a Referendum on Independence) Bill, but it cannot become law because of a lack of parliamentary time. None of the main political parties is likely to support it.
Lord Mar and Kellie said his bill would "petition for a referendum on whether Scotland should withdraw from the United Kingdom".
