First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the Scottish government has formally agreed to take steps to ensure legislation is in place to allow a second referendum on whether Scotland should gain independence from the UK.

This follows a meeting with her cabinet on Saturday to discuss the next steps the government should take after the UK voted to quit the EU, but Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.

Sturgeon said she would seek direct talks with the EU leadership and presumably with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, European Council President Donald Tusk and the president of the European Parliament Martin Schulz in the coming week.
