A second referendum would need to be held by the UK government if the SNP won its referendum on Scottish independence, according to Scottish Secretary Michael Moore.

Mr Moore, a Lib Dem MP, said he thought the Scottish government would hold an “advisory referendum”.

This would be followed by a second referendum on what had been sorted out between the governments, Mr Moore said.

A binding referendum would be for the UK government to determine, he added.
