Owen Thompson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Owen Thompson on 2016-10-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will devolve control over immigration to the Scottish Government as part of his negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

Mr David Jones

Immigration is a reserved matter. However, we are working closely with the Scottish Government and we will get the best possible deal for all parts of the United Kingdom as we leave the EU. We will give the Scottish Government every opportunity to have their say as we develop the negotiating strategy.
