Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, with reference to the position paper, Confidentiality and Access to Documents, published on 21 August 2017, what discussions the Government has had with the Scottish Government on the handling by the EU of information produced while the UK was an EU member state after the UK leaves the EU.

The Scottish Government and the UK Government are working together to ensure we get the best deal for Scotland and the whole of the UK as we exit the EU. This position paper was published ahead of the last negotiating round and we have carried out positive and productive engagement with the Scottish Government.
