Nicola Sturgeon has said she would like to have a Scottish independence referendum 鈥渋n the earlier part of the next parliament鈥�.

The first minister was speaking ahead of the SNP conference, with the Scottish Parliament elections being held in May, 2021.

Ms Sturgeon, however, said her full focus right now is dealing with coronavirus.

She said Scotland, like all countries, will have to ask itself what type of society it wants to be once it emerges from the pandemic.
