Delegates during the Scottish National Party's spring conference at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC), Aberdeen, today

Former MP George Kerevan told a packed fringe meeting at the SNP conference that the report by the party’s growth commission on the Scottish economy would not convince poor Scots to vote for independence.
At the meeting, hosted by right-wing think tank the Institute for Economic Affairs, SNP politicians welcomed the commission’s contention that Scotland could thrive economically as an independent country.
