Report: Scottish independence referendum deal

Key Points

  • Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Alex Salmond met in Edinburgh to sign an agreement about the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.
  • The historic deal paves the way for a referendum to take place in autumn 2014, with a single Yes/No question on Scotland leaving the United Kingdom.
  • The agreement, which has been worked on for the last few months, will see the voter age lowered, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to take part in the referendum.
