Angus Robertson MP said "By avoiding straightforward questions with a negative response Michael Moore has added to the state of confusion that has engulfed the anti-independence parties over Scotland’s constitutional future.
“Mr Moore and his Tory and Labour allies all admit that the constitutional status quo is not sustainable but, with only days until the formal launch of the ‘No’ campaign, he cannot name a single power that he would devolve. If the anti-independence parties claims were being genuine they have a democratic duty to set out exactly what is on offer.
“The anti-independence parties have been left behind by people across civic Scotland who are considering the powers that Scotland needs to have a successful economy and fair society - instead of savage cuts and a stagnant economy from the UK coalition.
“People in Scotland are entitled to know what the anti-independence parties have in mind, and whether their proposals include any real economic powers and responsibilities, for example, over welfare issues.
“Mr Moore seems to have ditched the Lib Dems’ own policy of more powers for Holyrood and is now just acting as a front man for a Tory Government Scotland didn’t vote for – no wonder so many Lib Dems in Scotland have abandoned the party in favour of the SNP.
"While we take nothing for granted, we are very confident that we can win the Yes case for independence and equality for Scotland in the referendum.”
