AN upcoming whitepaper will “address the issue” of an independent Scotland’s border with England, the First Minister has said.
But, the FM insisted that Scotland would remain part of the Common Travel Area, in a similar vein to the Republic of Ireland, following independence.
Hepburn added that members should “take no nonsense” from scaremongering about the border issue by Scottish Secretary Alister Jack, adding that there would be no border guards or a hard border for goods. “In fairness, even those who completely oppose independence, even they don’t attempt to make a ridiculous argument that you wouldn’t be in the Common Travel Area.
“That’s the state of arrangements that the UK and Ireland have enjoyed for over a century,” he added.Conservative“It’ll be just as much in the interest of the United Kingdom, as it will be for Scotland to have a Common Travel Area.”
