Chamber and committees

Scotland in Today’s Europe

  • Submitted by: Angus Robertson, Edinburgh Central, Scottish National Party
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 13 May 2025
  • Motion type: Motion For Debate
  • Motion reference: S6M-17539
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 15 May 2025

That the Parliament agrees that the best relationship that Scotland and the UK can have with the EU is to be a member of the EU; calls on the UK Government to drop its red lines on the single market, customs union and freedom of movement; further calls on the UK Government, at its forthcoming summit with the EU, as a first step, to negotiate an ambitious veterinary, food and drink agreement, closer energy and climate co-operation, greater freedom of movement, including opportunities for young people, and further measures to lessen the ongoing economic, social and cultural damage of Brexit, and believes that it is unacceptable that the UK Government has not shared any draft summit texts with the Scottish or other devolved governments.
