The SNP conference is set to ditch calls for a debate on a second independence referendum.
Resolutions had been tabled calling for a poll but it is understood that party leaders have refused to accept any of them in the draft agenda for the conference, which has been sent out to members.
Senior SNP sources have stressed the early version could be changed before the final package is put together.
Refusing any motions on a fresh split vote is likely to cause divisions within the party.
Martyn Day, Nationalist MP for Linlithgow and East Falkirk, has said he wants the party to be able to call a “snap referendum” in the next Parliament if it needed to do so, citing the possibility of the UK’s EU referendum being “divisive”.
Former SNP deputy leader Jim Sillars told the Common Space website: “I know for a fact that motions for another referendum have been tabled with the standing orders and agenda committee.
“Why the committee has not approved them for discussion at the conference is a mystery to me.”
The conference takes place in Aberdeen in October.
