Westminster Business Secretary Says Scotland Could "Do Well" as Independent Country

Giving evidence at today’s Scottish Affairs Committee hearing at Westminster into Scottish independence, Business Secretary Vince Cable said that in his view, along with other small European countries, there is "no reason a well run Scotland should not do relatively well."

Commenting, SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson MP said:

"Vince Cable's acknowledgement that Scotland would do well as an independent country was revealing and of course accurate - it reflects the views of a clear majority of people in Scotland that we could be a successful independent country.

"This is the reality that Project Fear has tried and failed to undermine - and why we know we can achieve a Yes vote next September."
