David Cameron flies to Edinburgh to meet Alex Salmond

2010-05-16 00:55:30

David Cameron has flown from London to Edinburgh Airport for a meeting in the capital City of Scotland with Mr Alex Salmond. He was accompanied by Danny Alexander, the Lib Dem Scottish secretary in the new United Kingdom Coalition Government. 

The Conservative Party performed badly in the recent election, winning just one out of 59 Scottish seats in the election, gaining around seventeen per cent of the vote. Prior to the meeting, Mr Salmond told reporters he intended to press Cameron for greater Scottish financial independence from Westminster, including greater tax powers

Cameron had been seeking what he called a "fresh start" to restore ties between the parliaments at Westminster and Hollyrood. In addition to meeting the first minister, Cameron also met with the sixteen Conservatives currently sitting in the devolved Scottish Parliament.
