British Minister for Cabinet Office, Michael Gove, says a push for another vote on independence is a "massive distraction" from more important issues.
First Minister Sturgeon has made clear her immediate focus is on the country's recovery from Covid-19 recovery, but notes the Scottish public must be given the option of independence again:
