Mike, who supports keeping the UK together as one nation, is right behind the non-partisan Better Together campaign, however, he is concerned that not enough reliable information has been made available to the public on what the consequences of independence may be. His intervention follows concerns raised by his constituents.

Some of the questions that Mike raised included:

• how national debt may be apportioned?

• what will happen to the Armed Forces, including our nuclear capability?

• what will happen by to our energy-generating capacity?

• what impact independence may have on our carbon reduction targets?

Mike said: “I firmly believe that the UK is stronger together, more prosperous together, and more influential together. In short, we are better together. With that in mind, I have asked a number of questions of various Ministers on all sorts of matters related to a yes vote on Scottish independence.”
