Scottish independence referendum debate to resume on Tuesday - BBC

Scotland's parliament will resume its independence referendum debate on Tuesday after it suspended proceedings following an attack on Britain's national parliament at Westminster, the BBC reported.

BBC correspondent Glenn Campbell tweeted that the debate on authorising Scotland's government to seek a new referendum would take place on Tuesday.

A spokeswoman for Scotland's parliament declined to comment.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who argues that Scotland's vote to keep its EU membership in last June's referendum has been ignored in Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit arrangements so far, is seeking authority for a second referendum from the Scottish parliament, to be held in late 2018 or early 2019.
