He added: “We think the Scottish people made their views very clear at the last referendum and there’s certainly no evidence that opinion has changed.”

The First Minister is due to announce her next steps in October after shelving her IndyRef2 push last year.

Mr Lidington, in Edinburgh yesterday, also insisted a No Deal Brexit would not jeopardise the union.

He said: “The ability to buy and sell in every part of the UK is of huge value to businesses and customers in Scotland.”
