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.
