Brexit laws meeting fails to agree deal

Talks over the transfer of powers to Scotland after Brexit have resulted in “good progress”, but failed to reach a deal.

First Secretary of State Damian Green met with Deputy First Minister John Swinney and scottish brexit Minister Michael Russell in Edinburgh yesterday in an effort to resolve the dispute.

The Scottish Government said its UK counterpart had not gone far enough for ministers to recommend that Holyrood gives legislative consent to the European Union Withdrawal Bill. The legislation will mean EU responsibilities in devolved areas initially transferred to Westminster.
