Commission has right to do its work

When Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Alex Salmond signed the Edinburgh Agreement last week, control of the referendum process passed to the Scottish Parliament.

Some issues, such as whether there should be one or two questions on the ballot paper and if 16 and 17-year-olds should be allowed to vote, were settled by the agreement but the detail of the poll, including the exact wording of the question, is still to be decided.
