Wes Streeting rules out a second Scottish independence vote

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting told The Mirror he will not authorize a second Scottish independence referendum, declaring "they're not having one." Streeting said Westminster will not "give" Scotland a referendum even if the Scottish National Party wins a majority at Holyrood. He made the remarks while handling NHS industrial disputes, after urging talks with "hard-line" resident doctors over a rejected pay deal. The statement places control of any future referendum with the UK Government rather than the Scottish Parliament ahead of the Holyrood elections.
