March 23, 2017 16:25

A vote in Scotland's parliament on supporting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call for a new independence referendum will be delayed until Tuesday in a gesture of respect following the attack on the British parliament.

The debate "will recommence on Tuesday at 2:20 pm," a parliament spokeswoman said today, a day after the suspension of a high-profile debate in which Scottish lawmakers are expected to back Sturgeon.
