said, insisting Scots can keep pound

political parties in Westminster
Ed Miliband reveals he will campaign against
currency union in 2015 election
Alex Salmond has admitted there is no
acceptable 'Plan B' if an independent Scotland is barred from using the British
pound. The First Minister said dropping the pound 'implies settling for what's
second best' - but still insisted there will be a deal on a currency union with
the rest of the UK.
His admission came in an open letter to
voters setting out why he has not yielded to calls to disclose a back-up plan,
if his favoured option of sharing the pound and the Bank of England fails.
The letter, published in the Sun,
declared: 'It is revealing that our opponents in the No camp like to talk about
a "Plan B" on currency.
'It's revealing because it says it all
about what they think of Scotland.
'Plan B implies settling for what's
second best. And neither myself, my colleagues in the SNP, or the wider Yes
campaign will ever settle for second best for Scotland.
