People of Scotland will choose to be independent: Minister amid Brexit concerns
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Thursday that Brexit had strengthened the case for Scottish independence.
It was "reasonable" to think that the timing of a possible new vote on secession would depend on how Britain's current political chaos over Brexit played out, she told Scotland's devolved parliament.
"That time will come, and when it does I have no doubt that the people of Scotland will choose to be independent," she said.
