Nicola Sturgeon to publish new referendum bill

Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced she will publish a new referendum bill for Scotland.

She told the SNP's conference in Glasgow that an Independence Referendum Bill would be published next week.

It marks the first step to holding a second vote.

The first referendum, which took place on 18 September, 2014, resulted in 55% of voters saying "no" to Scottish independence.
