Independence Debate At The House Of Lords

Lords to debate the issue of Scottish independence.

A major debate on the implications of independence will take place at the House of Lords shortly.

Members of the Constitution Committee will discuss whether the timetable of independence by 2016 is realistic and what impact that could have on the 2015 general election.

They'll also look at what will happen if the two negotiating teams cannot agree on an issue.

It's the first time the Lords have discussed the independence referendum.
