Royal Dutch Shell, Lloyds Banking Group and Barclays have warned of the economic risks of the Scottish people voting in favour of independence.
In moves which are likely to intensify the debate north of the border, the three FTSE 100 companies have spoken for the first time of the potential problems should Scotland leave the UK.
Ben van Beurden, chief executive of the Anglo-Dutch oil giant, said: “We’d like to see Scotland remain part of the United Kingdom.
“Shell has a long history of involvement in the North Sea – and therefore in Scotland – and we have continued to invest heavily there.”
In a speech to a reception in London on Wednesday night , Mr Van Burden said that one of the many things his company values about the UK “is the continuity and stability it offers”.
