Scottish and Welsh talks

Efforts to break the Brexit deadlock between Theresa May’s government and the Scottish and Welsh administrations will continue this week, Downing Street said.

Whitehall, Holyrood and Cardiff Bay are at loggerheads over how to handle the repatriation of powers from Brussels following Brexit.

UK ministers are tabling amendments to their Brexit bill to deal with the issue, despite opposition from the Scottish and Welsh Governments.

Mrs May is set for talks with Scottish and Welsh first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Carwyn Jones tomorrow.
