(S5O-02132) In her statement in June 2017, the First Minister did not say that we intend to hold an independence referendum in autumn 2018; instead, she said: “At the end of the period of negotiation with the EU, which is likely to be around next autumn, when the terms of Brexit will be clearer, we will come back to Parliament to set out our judgment on the best way forward at that time, including our view on the precise timescale for offering ... a choice over the country’s future.”
