SCOTTISH Secretary David Mundell has urged the SNP to take a second independence referendum "off the table".
Mundell, speaking at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, called on First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to snap out of her "constitutional Groundhog Day" and get on with the day job of running Scotland.
The Cabinet minister also criticised Jeremy Corbyn for his decision not to rule out another independence vote.
The Labour leader previously said he was "not ruling out" giving consent for a second referendum and he would decide on the issue "at the time".
Mundell said: "Every day that Scotland is stuck in a constitutional Groundhog Day is a day that our economy is being held back and that the SNP Government is not getting on with the day job of managing our schools and hospitals.
"So I want to use this opportunity to say to Sturgeon, it is time to end the constitutional uncertainty that we have lived with for the past four years.
"It is time for Scotland's two governments to work together in the best interests of the Scottish people. It is time to move on."
He added: "Just two weeks ago, Jeremy Corbyn said that he 'would decide at the time' what to do if Sturgeon asked for his consent for a second independence referendum.
"Conference, a man that can't even make up his mind about the future of this country is a man that we can never let into Downing Street."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
