Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg warned Scottish independence would lead to 'untold uncertain consequences'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has called for the delivery of a “radical package” of new powers for Scotland.
The Liberal Democrat also pledged reform south of the border, as he welcomed the rejection of independence in the historic referendum.
He said: “I’m absolutely delighted the Scottish people have taken this momentous decision to safeguard our family of nations for future generations.
“In a dangerous and uncertain world I have no doubt we are stronger, safer, and more prosperous together than we every could be apart.
“But a vote against independence was clearly not a vote against change and we must now deliver on time and in full the radical package of newly devolved powers to Scotland.
“At the same time, this referendum north of the border has led to demand for constitutional reform across the United Kingdom as people south of the border also want more control and freedom in their own hands rather than power being hoarded in Westminster.
“So this referendum marks not only a new chapter for Scotland within the UK but also wider constitutional reform across the Union.”
