英国首相戴维德·卡梅隆称,苏格兰在英联邦的未来的不确定会影响其经济发展。据说英国政府将发表就苏格兰独立进行公投的提议书,苏格兰要求英国政府只需回答“同意”或“不同意”。但卡梅隆否认将要求苏格兰政府接受一些条款。
"All the time business is asking 'Is Scotland going to be part of the United Kingdom? Are they going to stay together? Should I invest?' We're beginning to see companies asking those questions, so I think it's at least rational to put to the Scottish people 'Would it be better to have a more fair and decisive question put earlier?' But we're not going to dictate this."
“那些企业时时刻刻都在问这些问题,‘苏格兰是否还会是英国的一部分?我应该投资吗?’我们不想看到企业问这些问题,所以我想这样问苏格兰人民会理性点‘早点提出一个更公平更决断的问题是不是好些?’不过我们不会这么要求的。”
