SCOTLAND CONSIDERING A SEPARATE CURRENCY

David Sundman forwarded this article from The Times about Scotland's consideration of a plan to separate from Britain and create a separate currency. -Editor

A team of Nationalist MPs assessing options is expected to report to the first minister after the party’s previous position was blamed for losing votes in the 2014 referendum.

Sir Nicholas Macpherson, former permanent secretary to the Treasury and a critic of independence in 2014, said last week that the Nationalists and their allies had a “golden opportunity” to recast their case after Brexit and should plan for a separate currency backed by a central bank.
