The SNP Business Convener, Kirsten Oswald MP, said: “The SNP’s application is now with the Supreme Court. It is intended to support and complement the arguments for the Bill being within the
Scottish Parliament’s competence that are set out in the Lord Advocate’s written case. The SNP’s application focuses on the inalienable right of all nations to self-determination which is
enshrined in the United Nations charter and argues that the Scotland Act should be interpreted in a way that upholds rather than denies that right. The Bill raises a fundamental issue of
democracy – in line with the principle of self-determination, Scotland’s future must be decided by those who live here, not dictated by Westminster politicians. It is now for the Supreme
Court to determine whether our application to intervene should be granted.”
