SNP MEP Alyn Smith has, to warm applause, urged the European Union to "leave a light on" for Scotland to find its way back to the EU if it is removed against its democratic will. 

The intervention was warmly applauded across the Chamber and by Presidents Tusk and Juncker.

Speaking in the debate on the European Council Conclusions Alyn Smith said: "We see MPs today at Westminster finally trying to reach a settled view. Good...In the Scottish Parliament, we’re debating revoking Article 50 because from a Scottish perspective, every single party in Scotland except the Conservatives are united around the view that the best Brexit is no Brexit.

"Chers collègues, I'm not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home."
