Amid the deepening political row with Westminster,

it was business as usual yesterday for Nicola Sturgeon who attended a community science event run by Glasgow Caledonian University in the Gorbals where she tested the speed of a cricket ball.

The devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales have united to raise serious concerns about the status of European citizens after Brexit.

In a letter to Home Secretary Sajid Javid, ministers called for an urgent meeting to discuss the impact of EU Exit Settlement Scheme for EEA (European Economic Area) citizens.

Scotland’s External Affairs Secretary Fiona Hyslop and Welsh Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford urged the UK Government to fully consult the devolved administrations on the rules around settled sta- tus before they are published. The letter warned of “great uncertainty” in Scotland and Wales over the settled status scheme.

It said: “There are potentially significant numbers of people who are at risk of missing out on settled status simply due to being unable to, or unaware that they can and need to apply.

“This continuing lack of detail is not only a serious issue for our two governments, but is clearly of significant concern to EEA citizens, who are understandably anxious about what Brexit means for their future .”

The letter criticised a “severe lack of detail” about any communications.
