Scottish independence: Osborne says 'pound stays with UK'
Key Points
- The Scottish government wants to set up a currency union with the rest of the UK if Scotland votes for independence.
- Chancellor George Osborne says the pound is not a "CD collection that can be divided up". He wants Scotland to remain "integral" part of UK.
- The other main Westminster parties are lining up to back the chancellor's position against the notion of a sterling zone.
