Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:50 pm on 3 July 2018.
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. On 7 June, I published a written statement announcing that I had made an application to the Supreme Court for permission to participate in the reference of the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Bill. My participation in the proceedings, along with the Attorney-General for Northern Ireland, has been confirmed, which means that the Supreme Court’s analysis and reasoning in the reference will be informed by the views of all constituent parts of the UK.
