Every household in Scotland is to receive a leaflet highlighting the “five benefits” of remaining part of the UK.
With less than two months until the independence referendum, the UK Government is pressing what it sees as the main reasons for voting No – keeping the pound, cheaper bills, more jobs, more support for public services, and a stronger Scottish Parliament.
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said: “We are only weeks away from the most important decision we will ever make as a country. A decision to leave the UK is forever and cannot be reversed. We need to make sure we get it right. People in Scotland need to have the facts before they vote on September 18.
“With every passing week it becomes ever clearer the Scottish Government has not thought this through properly. They are blinded by their passion for independence. They have no plan on currency, no plan on pensions and no idea how much it would all cost.
“People want credible and reliable information to help them make their decision on independence. Our new leaflet highlights the five main benefits for Scotland of remaining part of the UK.”
The leaflet will be delivered to households from the week beginning August 4.
