Alex Salmond regarded Sir Gus O'Donnell as a model civil servant
Salmond said: "I have always regarded Sir Gus O'Donnell as a model civil servant, who has been extremely fair in recognising and respecting the democratic mandate of the Scottish Government.
"Sir Gus is right to recognise the importance of the constitutional issue, and the SNP Government are up for the challenge"
Sir Gus, who steps down as Cabinet Secretary and head of the Civil Service on Jan 1, says: “It is not enough now for the civil service simply to respond to a dampened economic climate; it needs to become a central part of its recovery and growth.”
Sir Gus says: “I am proud of the thorough, evidence-based analysis that was carried out under the last government, which resulted in the decision not to join the euro. Without that, the challenge would be substantially greater.”
Sir Gus’s comments about the Union highlight the fact that British voters and politicians are facing serious questions about the future of the UK as a single country.
