Labour says SNP does not own the Saltire

Labour will suggest the Saltire does not belong simply to the SNP as MPs debate independence today.

The use of the flag at Westminster is a sign that it is also "Scotland's Parliament", Margaret Curran, Scotland's Shadow Scottish Secretary will say.

The mural of St Andrew and the Saltire in the Palace of Westminster "standing alongside those of St David, St George and St Patrick remind me what the United Kingdom is. Four countries together, working in partnership as equals," she will argue.
