Current status: Answered by Angus Robertson on 8 September 2022
Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-09692 by Angus Robertson on 26 July 2022, whether it will address the issue raised in the question on how much it has budgeted for regarding the cost associated with the referral to the Supreme Court of whether the question for a referendum on Scottish independence contained in the proposed referendum Bill relates to reserved matters.
Answer
As the litigation is ongoing, and the costs may be affected by a number of factors, it is not possible to provide an estimate of the total costs, but as mentioned in my previous answer to question S6W-09692 we will publish external costs on a regular basis.
