Scottish Parliament: European Union (30 Jan 2024)

Clare Adamson: ...of UK House of Commons and House of Lords representatives and members of the European Parliament. The Assembly has discussed on many occasions, and has made some progress on, a number of the post-Brexit concerns that have been raised in the chamber this afternoon. The Windsor agreement brought some meeting of minds on those areas. We have back our participation in the Horizon and...

Scottish Parliament: Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee Report: “How Devolution is Changing Post-EU” ( 9 Jan 2024)

Clare Adamson: ...changes arising from the United Kingdom’s having left the European Union. It is an important report for the Parliament that builds on our previous work on the UK internal market and the impact of Brexit on devolution. I thank my committee colleagues for their constructive and consensual approach and their perseverance in dealing with some highly complex and technical issues. It might be...

Scottish Parliament: Culture Sector (25 Oct 2023)

Clare Adamson: .... It is reasonable to mention the “perfect storm”—a phrase from our committee evidence. It is reasonable to recognise Covid and its impact on our cultural sector. It is reasonable to mention Brexit and its impact on our touring artists. It is reasonable to talk about the cost of living crisis and the fuel costs that have affected our place-based cultural organisations. Covid, Brexit...

Scottish Parliament: Scottish Parliament Powers ( 3 Oct 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...’s work since we were formed as the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee of the Parliament. We have produced repeated reports on the subject, including “The Impact of Brexit on Devolution” and our “UK Internal Market Inquiry” report, and we are about to publish—in the next few weeks, we hope—a report on how devolution is changing outside the European...

Scottish Parliament: Scottish Parliament Powers ( 3 Oct 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...at the Department for Exiting the European Union from 2017 to 2019 and a senior civil servant Cabinet Office official on devolution from 2012 to 2019? He told our committee that “you have to see Brexit as a break point in all sorts of ways, including with regard to the management of relationships between the four Governments of the United Kingdom ... it will require a reconfiguration and...

Scottish Parliament: European Union Exit (21 Sep 2023)

Clare Adamson: The Conservatives delivered a ruinous Brexit. This week, Keir Starmer said that he would tweak that ruinous Brexit, while ruling out a return to the European single market. He said that his priorities are economic growth and the opportunities and outcomes for young people that have been lost as a result of Brexit. Does the Deputy First Minister agree that the only way to get back the benefits...

Scottish Parliament: NHS Waiting Times (14 Jun 2023)

Clare Adamson: What about the immigration system? What about the hostile environment that makes it less attractive for people to come here? Brexit has in itself made people think twice about coming to the United Kingdom. However, I have spoken already in the chamber and I will speak again about the plight of Sudanese health workers who have gone home or who were in Sudan at the time of the conflict and have...

Scottish Parliament: Deposit Return Scheme (30 May 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...the will of the Scottish Parliament on implementing a deposit return scheme that is completely within its competence? Does she believe that his actions represent a consensual approach to post-Brexit devolution settlements?

Scottish Parliament: Europe Day 2023 and Alignment with European Union Laws ( 9 May 2023)

Clare Adamson: .... Meanwhile, its report “Gauging International Perceptions: Scotland and Soft Power” found that “Scottish soft power is in a competitive position” but noted that “the challenges ... of Brexit will require Scotland to have a clearly articulated narrative on its place in the world”. A recent committee report from the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee...

Scottish Parliament: Illegal Migration Bill (25 Apr 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...It is a concerted attempt to weaponise asylum seekers and frame them as a homogenised mass that is responsible for the UK’s inexorable decline under Conservative rule. We are told not to look at Brexit, Truss and Kwarteng’s disastrous budget, personal protective equipment scandals, and the back-scratching of Tory donors but to look at the poor soul who needs sanctuary or, as Braverman...

Scottish Parliament: Deposit Return Scheme (20 Apr 2023)

Clare Adamson: Prior to Brexit, which, of course, Scotland did not want, we had regulatory divergence, and this Parliament could be secure in legislating in devolved areas. The Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee has consistently raised concerns about the lack of transparency about the frameworks and the nature of the relationships between the Governments and how those are...

Scottish Parliament: Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill: Section 35 Order (19 Apr 2023)

Clare Adamson: Cabinet secretary, post-Brexit, we have seen a dramatic shift to executive power decision making by the UK Government on devolved matters. The Sewel convention underpinning intergovernmental relations has been ignored nine times, and we now have the unprecedented use of a section 35 order in a devolved area of competence on a bill passed overwhelmingly by this chamber. UK Government ministers...

Scottish Parliament: Windsor Framework (23 Mar 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...concur with his concerns over the Office for Budget Responsibility’s report. Can he give any comfort right now to Scottish businesses, which continue to suffer as a result of a damaging Tory hard Brexit? What comfort can he give them as they look across to Northern Ireland and see the advantages that Northern Ireland will have over Scottish businesses, given its access to the single market?

Scottish Parliament: Windsor Framework (Impact on Food and Drink) (15 Mar 2023)

Clare Adamson: Indeed, Scotland is the only constituent nation of the UK to have had its vote on Brexit comprehensively ignored, threatening our food security in the process. Given NFU Scotland president Martin Kennedy’s description of what has been “significant and costly disruption to long-established trading arrangements between Scotland and Northern Ireland”, does the cabinet secretary agree that...

Scottish Parliament: Northern Ireland Protocol Bill ( 1 Mar 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...we look forward to a return to horizon funding. However, can it be right that Scotland, which voted overwhelmingly to remain within the EU, has been ignored and is feeling the full force of a hard Brexit while Mr Sunak shamelessly boasts about the huge economic benefits that access to the EU single market will bring for Northern Ireland?

Scottish Parliament: Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (23 Feb 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...sensible process that examines, updates or improves existing environmental laws, but we do not think this Bill delivers that.” Given inflation, energy prices, post-pandemic recovery and the post-Brexit economic impact, we can but sympathise with the view of the Institute of Directors that the bill is “the last thing that business needs in such a fragile economic environment.” The...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit and Workers’ Rights (31 Jan 2023)

Clare Adamson: ...quote from Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy!” The bard could have been writing about Brexit, which represents the biggest act of self-harm that politicians in Westminster have wrought on the UK. If only the leave campaign, the European research group and the voters outwith Scotland...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit (Impact on Devolution) (17 Nov 2022)

Clare Adamson: ...recent Scotland Act, enacted in 2016, was intended to deliver, in the words of Prime Minister David Cameron, “one of the most powerful devolved parliaments in the world.” However, the impact of Brexit, as well as that of United Kingdom legislation following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, cannot be overstated. The conventions that underpin devolution are coming under...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit (Impact on Devolution) (17 Nov 2022)

Clare Adamson: ...are put on the table, such as the Northern Irish Protocol Bill. Although technical, it lays out the challenges that we might face. The Northern Irish protocol, which was negotiated within the Brexit settlement, is a further complicating factor. Dr Lisa Claire Whitten said: “the UK must keep Northern Ireland aligned with any changes made to the EU legal instruments included in the scope...

Scottish Parliament: Points of Order (16 Nov 2022)

Clare Adamson: On a point of order, Presiding Officer. In Mr Kerr’s point of order, he seemed to indicate that tomorrow’s debate on Brexit is a Government debate. I want to inform you and members in the chamber that it is a Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee debate, giving the committee an opportunity to air its concerns about Brexit from its most recent report.
