Survey shows 53% prefer one-question referendum

SCOTLAND'S pro-UK parties yesterday welcomed a new poll showing a majority of voters favour a straightforward Yes/No vote in the independence referendum.

The survey found 53% of Scots would prefer a single question on the ballot paper in 2014 compared with 41% who want an extra option on handing Holyrood greater powers. Six per cent did not express a view.
