Michael Gove has repeatedly swerved questions over whether the UK government would attempt to block any legislation on a second Scottish referendum in the courts.
It comes as Boris Johnson heads for a constitutional clash with Nicola Sturgeon, who cemented her place once again as first minister of Scotland in the election, which could result in a Supreme Court showdown.
Pressed on
Sky News’ Sophy Ridge on Sunday whether the UK government would look to block legislation from the Scottish Parliament pushing for a second referendum, Mr Gove insisted: “No, what’re working on doing at the moment is working together to deal with all the challenges that we face across the whole United Kingdom.”
