“David Cameron served the office of Prime Minister honourably at all times.
"He restored the UK economy from the depths of the financial crisis, he pushed ahead with a series of necessary social reforms, and, in Scotland, delivered on devolution.
"I am proud to have served alongside him and, earlier this morning, thanked him for his service on behalf of the party in Scotland.
“His decision to remain in post over the short term is the right one, and will help ensure greater stability in the days ahead. It is right that he has already spoken to Nicola Sturgeon to ensure the Scottish Government is involved in the negotiations that will follow.
"Our two Governments need to work together for the benefit of all people in Scotland, and they will. All of us need to take stock of this decision, and put the stability of our country first.”
