what transition plan it would put in place for civil servants if Scotland became independent.

In the event of a vote for independence in the 2014 referendum, Scotland would subsequently take responsibility for matters presently reserved to the UK Government. There would therefore be a continuing need for public services currently delivered by UK Government Departments and public bodies.
The Scottish Government would take responsibility for the direct delivery of some new functions in Scotland and is also open to the continued sharing of certain UK Government services and structures where that provides an effective solution for an independent Scotland and for the rest of the UK. Civil Service jobs would therefore continue on independence, and some new opportunities would be created, but political accountability and some delivery structures would change. Providing continuity of services, including any arrangements for the transfer of UK Government staff into the Scottish Government where and when that is appropriate, would be a key feature of independence negotiations between the Scottish and UK Governments in due course.
In the Edinburgh Agreement both the Scottish and UK Governments committed to continue to work together constructively in the light of the outcome of the referendum in the best interests of the people of Scotland and of the rest of the United Kingdom. Within that spirit, the Scottish Government would take a pragmatic and responsible approach to independence negotiations. Existing expertise in Scotland would be drawn upon as and when functions transfer to Scotland and there will be full consultation with the Civil Service unions as the Scottish Government develops its detailed plans for independence.
Civil servants currently employed by the Scottish Government would continue to be so on independence. Existing terms and conditions of employment, including pension rights, would not be affected.
