Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what role the Scottish Government and other devolved administrations have in negotiating with the EU.

The Government will fully involve the devolved administrations, including Scotland, as we prepare for negotiations on the UK’s exit from the EU. We are working towards securing the best possible deal for the whole UK, and to achieve this we will need to work closely with colleagues in the devolved administrations at official and ministerial level. I addressed this subject in greater detail in the debate held on 21 July: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2016-07-21/debates/16072153000001/EUExitDevolvedGovernments
