AS a committed Scottish nationalist, I would like to offer Allan Carmichael (Letters, July 20) some of the information for which he is looking when he asks for someone to put the case for the Union. • The Union will continue to provide Scotland with access to operational banking services and a real, not merely token, currency, neither of which would currently be available in a separated Scotland. • The Union can combine resources to provide a greater National Health Service and more efficient and uniform benefit, taxation and motor vehicle registration systems than can be achieved in any separate part of the United Kingdom. • The employers, employees and customers within the United Kingdom all stand to benefit from uniform commercial and financial regulation and practice throughout the existing United Kingdom. IGNORING THE ICEBERG AHEADTHE three-decade-old disruption of UK politics over separation from the European Union (first the Tories, now joined by Labour) is still playing out.
