Rees-Mogg rejects SNP's claim that support for Sottish independence is at record levels

Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg has rejected claims, by the SNP, that support for Scottish independence is at record levels.
During Business Questions, SNP's Patricia Gibson (North Ayrshire and Arran) said:
"A memo that was recently leaked to the Bloomberg news agency revealed the view of senior Tories that the majority of people in Scotland support independence.
Will the Leader of the House make a statement to set out why he believes that support for Scottish independence is at record levels? Does he agree with the view in the memo that continuing to dismiss calls for an independence referendum in Scotland is counterproductive?"
Jacob Rees-Mogg replied:
"Six years ago, in the year of our Lord 2014, a referendum was held in Scotland to decide on whether Scotland wished to remain part of the United Kingdom.
The people of Scotland, in their wisdom, voted to remain in the United Kingdom and that is why they are benefiting from £7.2 billion of UK taxpayers’ money to help them through the coronavirus crisis.

The ​benefits of the United Kingdom are enormous.
But I would say this, as an Englishman. I think it is absolutely wonderful that we are a single country to which Scotland has contributed enormously over the centuries. We are all kith and kin. We should be so pleased that we are a single country and grateful for the contribution of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland."
