Scotland Tonight: How will White Paper change independence debate? The Scottish Government unveiled its vision for an independent Scotland in a White Paper on Tuesday. Scotland's Future: Your Guide to an Independent Scotland was unveiled at the Glasgow Science Centre before MSPs travelled through to Holyrood to speak on the paper. The "blueprint" covers key policy areas including the economy, public finances, health, education, justice, defence and international relations. Among the pledges contained in the White Paper are the abolition of the "bedroom tax," a halt to the UK Government's universal credit roll-out in Scotland, the creation of a fair work commission, and an inflation-linked minimum wage. There would also be a triple-lock for pensioners' incomes, meaning they would rise by either inflation, earnings or 2.5%, depending on which is highest. Scotland Tonight devoted a special hour-long programme to the publication and its impact. First Minister Alex Salmond sat down with STV's Political Editor Bernard Ponsonby to discuss the document that will no doubt define his political career. Presenter Rona Dougall then put questions to pro-Union Better Together campaign leader Alistair Darling, who described the paper as "a work of fiction." Three leading academics - Edinburgh University's professor of public policy James Mitchell, economist Jo Armstrong and the Scottish Centre for War Studies' director Dr Phillips O'Brien. - explained the details of the White Paper and assessed its arguments and conclusions. Undecided voters were also asked to give their opinion on the document, which Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon described as a "vision for Scotland's future," before Better Together campaign director Blair McDougall and Yes Scotland chief executive Blair Jenkins put their sides.
