Lawyers advise supreme court that Sturgeon not entitled to a ruling on legality of holding a vote without Westminster’s consent

Nicola Sturgeon’s request for a supreme court ruling on the legality of holding a secondreferendum without Westminster’s permission should be thrown out as “premature”, the UK government has suggested.

Further, they point out that the Scotland Act 1998 sets out a statutory process to test whether legislation is within Holyrood’s competence, but that this process only starts after a bill has been debated and passed by MSPs, and so that current request for the court to examine the bill is premature.
