Question

John Mason, The Scottish Labour Party has been making much of your hardline stance on an independent Scotland. If a referendum on independence returned a "no" response, can you say definitively how long you would wait before a second referendum?

Answer

The SNP Government began a National Conversation with people across
Scotland on our constitutional future last summer. The National
Conversation has engaged people and organisations across the country and
we will continue that work towards a referendum on Scottish Independence
in 2010. A referendum I hope and expect we will win. The question of a
second referendum is not one I plan on having to face, however based on
previous experience with the defeat of the devolution referendum in 1979
and a second devolution referendum in 1997 I would expect it to be a
generation before the question was put to the people of scotland again. MORE!
