Commenting on the article in the Scotland on Sunday where Tory MSP Margaret Mitchell has warned her party that the Scotland Bill will encourage moves towards Scottish independence, SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson said:
 
"The Scotland Bill falls far short of what the people want, and its financial provisions threaten to short change Scotland. Margaret Mitchell's remarks show that the Tory, Labour, Lib Dem alliance is already cracking.
 
“They show that the Tories don't really care about Scotland and don't have Scotland's interests at heart.
 
“Only support for the SNP can ensure that the Bill is improved and strengthened - which is a strong platform, in contrast to the disarray of the unionist parties."
