		</div><p>Boris Johnson has formally rejected a call for Holyrood to be given the power to hold a second independence referendum.</p>
<p>The British PM said holding such a vote would mean “political stagnation” for Scotland.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>He said it was instead time for the the nations to “work together and unleash the potential of this great country”.</p>
<p>Scots voted by 55% to 45% to stay in the United Kingdom in a referendum in 2014.</p>
<p>In his letter to Ms Sturgeon, Mr Johnson said he had “carefully considered” the arguments she made.</p>
<p>But he said Ms Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond had made a “personal commitment” that the 2014 referendum would be a “once in a generation” event.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“The UK Government will continue to uphold the democratic decision of the Scottish people and the promise that you made to them,” he said.</p>
<p>“For that reason I cannot agree to any request for a transfer of power that would lead to further independence referendums.”</p>
<p>Mr Johnson added: “Another independence referendum would continue the political stagnation that Scotland has seen for the last decade, with Scottish schools, hospitals and jobs again left behind because of a campaign to separate the UK.</p>
<p>“It is time that we all worked to bring the whole of the United Kingdom together and unleash the potential of this great country.”</p>
