161024sturgeon2First Minister for Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, participated in today’s (24 October) Joint Ministerial Committee of the devolved administrations. She said that if the UK didn’t bring forward a proposal to avert a hard Brexit she would put forward proposals to keep Scotland in the Single Market.

The meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May and Brexit ministers was not easy according to Sturgeon. She said that there had been a very frank exchange of views and that the devolved administrations were frustrated that the PM could not answer the most basic of questions on the plans for the UK’s future relations with the EU.

Sturgeon said it was her duty to protect the interest of Scotland, in particular, she was concerned about jobs, trade and investment and the impact on living standards. She said that if (Scotland) keeps getting the door closed in our face, she was not prepared to see Scotland driven off a Brexit cliff edge, without given the people of Scotland a better alternative.
