To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the First Minister's statement welcoming the Prime Minister's "commitment to forge a positive relationship between our governments", what its position is on what would constitute fulfilment of this commitment, and whether it will set out the details of specific changes that it is seeking to the working relationship.
The Scottish Government is committed to acting in the best interests of Scotland. This includes working constructively with the UK Government and Westminster in order to benefit the people of Scotland.
The Prime Minister has made clear his commitment to rebuild trust and foster respect with Devolved Governments, which the Scottish Government welcomes. The Scottish Government is keen to work together in areas of shared ambition and responsibility, and where the most effective change can be delivered through joint or coordinated action, in a way that is mutually respectful and co-operative.
