Speaking on ‘The World Tonight' on Radio 4 recently, Dr Peter Hughes, Chief Executive of Scottish Engineering answered a number of questions on the current political wrangle over the Scottish independence referendum.

He highlighted the fact that while none of the members have raised concerns publicly, the real issue is one of uncertainty.


"The one thing business does not like is uncertainty and in all honesty I think a lot of business leaders are just a bit fed up with all the talk about a referendum. They just want to get it out of the road, one way or another, and get on with their business."
