- Submitted by: Ruth Davidson, Edinburgh Central, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 27 June 2016
- Motion reference: S5M-00601.1
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 28 June 2016
As an amendment to motion S5M-00601 in the name of Nicola Sturgeon (Implications of the EU Referendum for Scotland), leave out from "welcomes" to end and insert “acknowledges that the majority of people in Scotland voted for the UK to remain in the EU; recognises the result of the referendum both in Scotland and across the rest of the UK; affirms to citizens of other EU countries living here that they remain welcome and that their contribution is valued; mandates the Scottish Government to have discussions with the UK Government and other devolved administrations in the UK to explore options for protecting and maximising Scotland’s trade with the EU and securing access to the single market; instructs the Scottish Government to report back regularly to parliamentarians, to the European and External Relations Committee and the Parliament on the progress of those discussions and to seek the Parliament’s approval of the outcome of that process; acknowledges that the result of the Scottish independence referendum must be respected and the 1.6 million votes cast in the EU referendum in favour of remain do not overturn the two million votes in support of Scotland remaining part of the UK less than two years ago and do not in themselves demonstrate demand for a second independence vote, and believes that the challenges of leaving the EU are not addressed by leaving the UK, Scotland’s own union of nations, biggest market and closest friends."
