The first paper, pulled together by ministers and civil servants from several UK Government departments and drawing on the views of constitutional and legal experts, will set the general context to the debate with a document that lays out the legal basis and history of the UK and Scotland's place within it. It will make reference to treaties and institutions, including the EU.
