MSPs have voted to back a Government motion calling for the Scottish Parliament to have the power to hold another independence referendum.
Holyrood's pro-independence majority voted in favour of the motion, arguing "a referendum should be held so that the people of Scotland can decide whether they wish it to become an independent country".
The Scottish Government has proposed that the vote should happen in 2020, but may need to acquire powers from Westminster to hold a referendum – something Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he will not authorise.
MSPs voted by 64 to 54 in favour of the Government's motion, with no abstentions.
Conservative, Labour and LibDem amendments were all voted down.
MSPs also voted in favour of keeping the European flag flying outside the Parliament building "as a sign of support and solidarity with those EU nationals who have made Scotland their home", despite Brexit.
The cross-party Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body had voted unanimously to lower the flag when the UK comes out of the bloc on Friday, but following the vote in Parliament it has now been ordered to "ensure that the European flag continues to fly daily at the Parliament building".
The vote passed by 63 votes to 54, with one abstention.
Proposed amendments by the Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour failed.
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!
