Sturgeon shared a copy of the letter written by the Prime Minister. In it, he states: "Thank you for your letter of 28 June, regarding Scottish independence. The letter continues: "People rightly expect the UK and Scottish Governments to work collaboratively in their best interests - and that is what we are doing, as is evidenced by our productive call on Monday evening. We are co-operating on measures to ease the cost of living, and I hope we will soon have the chance, alongside colleagues from the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive, to discuss further action at the next Prime Minister and Heads of Devolved Government Council.
"Moreover, our ministerial colleagues are strengthening and deepening their co-operation at all levels through the new Interministerial Groups."
