  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 07 January 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-20318.1
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 08 January 2020

As an amendment to motion S5M-20318 in the name of Michael Russell (European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill), leave out from "people in Scotland" to end and insert "the legislative consent memorandum indicates that the Scottish Ministers would have recommended that the Parliament withhold consent from any legislation providing for EU exit, irrespective of its content; recalls that the decision to leave the EU was taken by a clear majority of those voting in the 2016 referendum; believes that the results of referendums should be respected and implemented, rather than ignored; welcomes that the UK will be leaving the EU later this month with a Withdrawal Agreement; recalls that all parties in the Scottish Parliament have called for such an agreement to be in place before EU exit and therefore supports the Withdrawal Agreement, and consents to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill, which will implement this agreement."
