David Cameron and Alex Salmond have clashed over the future of Scotland's oil and gas industry as they held rival Cabinet meetings within a few miles of each other. The Prime Minister warned that leaving the UK would harm the key sector.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond tells ITV News Scotland Correspondent Debi Edward he wants to debate David Cameron on the issue of Scottish independence.
"The best way to debate is actually to have the act of debate. I think the Prime Minister has an obligation to debate myself as First Minister," he said.
David Cameron is expected to claim that only the UK Government has the financial muscle to boost oil production in the North Sea.
Is it a coincide the Cabinets of both the UK and Scottish governments are meeting in Aberdeenshire on the same day? Of course not.
