LONDON (Reuters) - Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf said on Sunday his Scottish National Party (SNP) would be willing to do a deal with the Labour Party if a British national election expected next year resulted in a hung parliament.

The top ask on the SNP's list would be a second Scottish independence referendum, Yousaf told the BBC, but declined to say if that would ultimately be a deal breaker.
