  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 28 January 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-20615.3
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 29 January 2020

As an amendment to motion S5M-20615 in the name of Nicola Sturgeon (Scotland’s Future), leave out from "and that a referendum should be held" to end and insert "with the UK, including Scotland, due to leave the EU on 31 January; believes that a period of uncertainty for individuals, communities and businesses will follow; recognises that the majority of the people of Scotland do not want a further referendum at this time; calls on the Scottish Government to focus all of its efforts and energies on minimising the impact of the Prime Minister's disastrous Brexit deal and, as such, does not believe that a further independence referendum in the near future is in the best interests of Scotland; proposes instead the pursuance of 'Home Rule’, which fully utilises the substantial powers that are already devolved, and urges the UK Government to ensure that devolved powers are repatriated to Scotland following Brexit and that the Scottish Parliament gains the further devolved powers needed to create a fairer and more equal Scotland."
