Mike Weatherley MP

**Mike, who supports** keeping the UK together as one nation, is right behind the non-partisan *Better Together* campaign, however, he is concerned that not enough reliable information has been made available to the public on what the consequences of independence may be. His intervention follows concerns raised by his constituents.

**Some of the questions that Mike raised included:**

• how national debt may be apportioned?

• what will happen to the Armed Forces, including our nuclear capability?

• what will happen by to our energy-generating capacity?

• what impact independence may have on our carbon reduction targets?

**Mike said:** *“I firmly believe that the UK is stronger together, more prosperous together, and more influential together. In short, we are better together. With that in mind, I have asked a number of questions of various Ministers on all sorts of matters related to a yes vote on Scottish independence.”*
