Scottish parliament to vote on independence Tuesday: Official

Scotland: A vote in Scotland`s parliament on supporting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon`s call for a new independence referendum will be delayed until Tuesday in a gesture of respect following the attack on the British parliament.

The debate "will recommence on Tuesday at 2:20 pm," a parliament spokeswoman said on Thursday, a day after the suspension of a high-profile debate in which Scottish lawmakers are expected to back Sturgeon.
