Dear Mr Smith Thanks for contacting us regarding the BBC One programme ‘The Andrew Marr Show’. Andrew Marr and Alex Salmond had a detailed discussion during the 16 March edition of the programme, where issues around the way Scotland would operate if a majority vote for independence were covered and various scenarios were explored. Mr Salmond was closely questioned on two contentious subjects – the currency in Scotland post a vote for independence and the country’s position in relation to the European Union. Andrew made it clear on air that he had not been intending to express a personal opinion or an opinion of the BBC. He was simply putting forward an argument from President Barroso who, as European Commission President, has an integral insight within the debate and had made his feelings on the matter of Scotland’s EU membership post-independence explicit during a recent interview with Andrew on the programme. We believe the BBCs coverage of the Scottish Referendum debate has been fair and impartial and we will continue to strive to report on the story in this manner.
