Scottish Parliament delays independence motion vote

A vote in Scotland's parliament on supporting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call for a new independence referendum will be delayed until Tuesday in a gesture of respect following the attack on the British parliament.


The debate "will recommence on Tuesday at 2.20pm," a parliament spokeswoman said this morning.

The announcement comes a day after the suspension of a high-profile debate in which Scottish politicians are expected to back Ms Sturgeon.
