Scottish Parliament – May 15, 2025 – 1

S6M-17539.4: As an amendment to motion S6M-17539 in the name of Angus Robertson (Scotland in Today’s Europe), leave out from "agrees" to end and insert "recognises that foreign affairs, including the country's relationship with the EU, trade and immigration are reserved matters, and calls on the Scottish Government to dedicate more parliamentary time towards tackling the issues that matter to most people in Scotland, such as improving NHS waiting times, raising Scotland’s falling attainment standards, addressing school violence and bringing down bills for taxpayers."

Original motion(S6M-17539): 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.
