Business leaders are not talking about Nicola Sturgeon’s plans for a second independence referendum next year and are focused on “almost everything else”, according to the head of the Confederation of British Industry.
Tony Danker said he had not met a business leader who thinks “this is a really front-of-mind issue”.
It came as he issued a plea to the First Minister to work better with business leaders, insisting there “isn’t enough” dialogue.
Asked if it was the right time for the Scottish Government to be pushing ahead with plans for another vote, Danker said: “I have to tell you, I really don’t think about it, and the members that I speak to here in Scotland aren’t talking about it.
“People are talking about two questions only. One, what are we going to do about the short-term energy and economic crisis?
