First Minister Alex Salmond has confirmed the Scottish government will publish a detailed consultation on its plans for an independence referendum by the end of January.

The document is to be finalised at a meeting of the Scottish cabinet.

Meanwhile, the UK government will be setting out its position when Scottish Secretary Michael Moore makes a statement to the Commons on the legal status of a referendum.

Mr Salmond was speaking to the BBC at the opening of an oil company's new facility in Dyce, Aberdeenshire.
