Tory feuding 'a risk to Scotland's EU place'

THE SNP has accused David Cameron's Government of infighting that is jeopardising Scotland's place in the European Union.

The party said that Tory feuding on the issue was more of a threat to Scottish membership than independence.

The SNP has faced criticism over its admission earlier this month that Scotland would have to negotiate with the EU if it left the UK. But the party said that warnings from senior party figures that David Cameron had to offer a referendum on EU membership or face defections and a challenge to his leadership showed where the threat lay.
