parliament. we have elections every five years. —— 75%. manifestos are put in front of the scottishon, over housing and transport. how dare, how dare this tory government feel that it can come in and it can impose its will on these areas of democratic accountability in scotland. what an insult! what an insult to our parliament in edinburgh, to our parliament in edinburgh, to our parliament in edinburgh, to our parliament in wales and i will say this to our government... we will stand up against this attack on our parliament and those enshrined in the scottish parliament. the agenda of the conservatives is clear, the tories will seek to bypass democratically elected mps and ministers in scotland, unionjack badge projects will be paid for and prioritised ahead of the priorities of our parliament. better experience isa of our parliament. better experience is a good teacher. tory governments cannot be trusted to spend money in scotland. we remember what happens when the tories control state aid spending. in 1992, john major's government diverted cash from the highlands to try and boost

and the biggest attacks on scottish parliament in the history of evolution. can i ask the prime minister, not a difficult question. why does he think the people of scotland have more trust in him? >> he is completely wrong, what he says about the internal market, and the people of scotland, a clearer account, supported by the leader of the opposition, devolved power back to scotland, gives power back to scotland, enables scotland not just to take control of scotland's spectacular fisheries but also markets, scottish agriculture around the world and the historic day, after 23 years this government, lifted the ban on british beef in america and scottish beef will be going to the united states thanks to efforts of the british government and that is a fact that might inform his electorate in scotland. >> i don't know what that was but it is little wonder, 50% and falling after that performance. bubbling, mumbling but no answer. i will tell the prime minister. >> order. i expect the prime minister to be heard. i expect to hear the leader of the s&p, ian blackburn.

supporting that being the key emphasis of the next election campaign and the next five—year scottish parliamentn 2017, the snp went to the people in a uk general election, saying they would push for another general referendum because circumstances had fundamentally changed because of brexit. they did the same thing in 2019, and won thumping majorities both times and in may next year there will be an election for the scottish parliament. all the polls suggest they will win another thumping majority there. if they do, would you then accept that they have a legitimate democratic mandate to get their second referendum? ijust don't accept the hypothetical questions based on what may happen in eight months‘ time and all that does is play into the snp's narrative to make the whole conversation is about separation and what they would do if they ever got their way and scotland became an independent country. i think there is a lot to focus on there and there is a lot of proposals for an independent scotland that do not stack up but people do not want us to discuss this, they want us to discuss how, after

speaker, the prime minister will know that next may there are elections to the scottish parliament and i am sure you will agree with me at how scotland is governed will be central to that campaign. i know the prime minister is a keen student of the democratic principles so that the conservative party and other unionist parties are successful enough election in securing a majority in the scottish parliament what he regarded that as a mandate for the union? simple yes or no would suffice. >> as the honorable gentleman rightly said there was a referendum in 2014 which the people of this country and the people of scotland and our country voted overwhelmingly on the substantial majority to keep the union and a once in a generation event and as to the leaders of the scottish nationalist party acknowledged and i think they were right and we should stick with that. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the prime minister and i were both elected on a manifesto to increase home bills and to level up our country and there are lots to welcome in the planning wide paper butry the formulas tt have been used to

the scottish parliament and protect the scottish parliament and protect the things that have been gooday what they are doing. this will be a defining moment. i will say to the conservatives this will bring about the end of the union. not people supporting the snp supporting independence in the past will recognise this is a very real threat to democracy, it is a real threat to the devolution settlement and this will be the best recruiting sergeant for the cause of independence. we have seen poll after poll has indicated a majority. this will increase that type towards recognising that scotland's future will be as an independent member of the european union. representatives of the afghan government and the taliban are continuing peace talks in qatar. after the opening ceremony on saturday, the contact groups for both sides met on sunday to discuss the technical details of the negotiations ahead. speaking to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, the head of the government delegation, dr abdullah abdullah, said the taliban should come to terms with the reality that afghanistan

the office for the internal market will have an effective veto over the scottish parliament, and thell be hamstrung. this is yet another step in introducing a system where standards are set by westminster, and they must be accepted by scotland in devolved areas. the government has a choice to make. does it want to respect and strengthen the devolution settlement by pushing powers closer to people in communities as promised in the referendum? or do they want to retain all those powers here in westminster? at best, this bill is a missed opportunity to strengthen our union, and at worst, it threatens the future of the uk itself. as we have heard today, giving the first minister and the snp all the grievances they need to turbo—charge their independence campaign. the minister denied the office for the internal market — or 0im — would inhibit the scottish parliament. the 0im will not be empowered to bind administrations or veto regulations. it will only be concerned with assessing the economic impact on regulation, never its merit. we are not acting at the request of an administration for

won thumping majorities in both times and in may next year there will be an election for the scottish parliamentmajority there. if they do, would you then accept that they have a legitimate democratic mandate to get their second referendum ? democratic mandate to get their second referendum?” democratic mandate to get their second referendum? ijust don't accept the hypothetical questions based on what may happen in eight months time and all that does explain to the narrative of the snp to make the whole conversation is about separation and what they would do if they ever got their way and scotland became independent. there is a lot of focus on there and there is a lot of proposals for an independent scotland that does not scott — i stuck up but people do not want us to discuss this, they want us to discuss this, they want us to discuss how after 13 years education is such a poor state after the snp has been in power and building hospitals in scotla nd and building hospitals in scotland that cannot accept patients, and about the economic recovery and how our economic recovery and how our economic

thirdly, this bill would stop the scottish parliament introducing the minimum pricing legislation, whichs steals, to use the words of the welsh government, it steals powers from the devolved administrations that have been with us for 20 years now. it makes very clear, in my view, the only way to protect devolution is for scotland to become independent, because otherwise we face a future of the scottish parliament being undermined, eroded and, frankly, crippled. the scottish first minister nicola sturgeon there. prince william thanked police officers, firefighters and ambulance crew members for their work during the covid—i9 pandemic. crew members for their work during the covid-19 pandemic. today is 999 day, a day where we come together to celebrate and think the 2 million people just like all of you in this room who put their own lives on the line time and time again to keep the rest of us safe and healthy. this has already been an extraordinary year. the months ahead will no doubt be uncertain and at some point scary. but thanks to the dedication and sacrifices of those of you working

scotland is speaking out and i say to the scottish parliament will reject this attack so the questions organizing to break domestic law, the will of the scottish people, ignore the concerns, scotland's communities and press ahead with this bill. the time for scotland's place is an international law-abiding nation is almost here. our time has come. >> the answer, mister speaker is we will press on with this, attacks are totally illogical. it represents a substantial transfer of power, of sovereignty to scotland and wales. it is a massive devolution area act. what it also does, this is common ground across the dispatch box and also ensures, with uk internal market. the transfer to the uk government, to transfer power is not just to state aid to brussels, over fisheries too. that is the policy of the scottish nationalist party and it would be a disaster for our country. >> to withdraw the last comment, no other member will do. please withdraw. >> mister speaker. >> i don't need that. >> on the face of the bill the government of the uk, that is not a lie. >> members of this house, do the

minister and education secretaryjohn swinney, he has said that he will make an announcement in the scottish parliamenthen about three weeks. as you say, there has been a bit of speculation on the front page of two scottish newspapers. what they are saying is that the education secretary already plans to scrap the national fives, education secretary already plans to scrap the nationalfives, the education secretary already plans to scrap the national fives, the exams will not be happening in 2021, instead what pupils will do will be based on continuous assessment throughout the year. also there will bea throughout the year. also there will be a bit ofa throughout the year. also there will be a bit of a change to hires, some of the coursework could be scaled back because schools have lost out on some teaching time already. as you said, there has been no confirmation of that so far. we have had a statement from the scottish government and they have said that the ambition is to run the exams in 2021, but there is a risk of some further disruption. i want to come onto the other political reaction. for those

the snp westminster leader ian blackford said it is an attack on the scottish parliament and accuse theue state. here was the reply from boris johnson. 0n the contrary, mr speaker, this uk internal market bill is about protecting jobs, protecting growth, ensuring the fluidity and safety of our uk internal market, and prosperity throughout the united kingdom, and it should be welcomed, i believe, in scotland, northern ireland and wales and throughout britain. whilst this is to some extent about an interpretation of what has passed, it is crucial to the future as well. today, michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator, has arrived in london for brexit trade talks. the eu has been clear that in their view the pass needs to be honoured in order to go ahead with forging a future relationship. so what has happened over the last few days, it has raised eyebrows and raise the temperature of those talks, as well. and in brussels the eu is wanting emergency talks? just the last few minutes we had a tweet from ursula von der leyen the eu commission president and she said she's concerned about announc

the prime minister will know that next may there are elections to the scottish parliament.e union? a simple yes or no would suffice.” a mandate for the union? a simple yes or no would suffice. i am a keen student of democratic principles, as the right honourable gentleman rightly says and i recall that there was a referendum in 2014 which the people of this country and the people of this country and the people of this country and the people of scotland voted overwhelmingly or by a substantial majority to give the union. it was a once ina majority to give the union. it was a once in a generation event, as the leaders of the snp acknowledged and i think they were right then and we should stick with that. the prime minister and i were both elected on a manifesto pledge to increase home—building and level of our country. and there's lots to welcome in the planning white paper. but the formula that is being used to allocate the homes seems to be doing the opposite. it is overshot in terms of numbers, and the investment is concreting down rather than levelling up. so could my rig

scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, is expected to set out new restrictions to the scottish parliament latest official figures show a sharp rise in infections across the uk. the seven—day average number of new cases per day in the last week — was 3,929. across europe there are restrictions in place, including more thani million people being under partial lockdown in the spanish capital madrid. china and the united states have not joined 156 countries that have signed up to a world health organization project to develop covid—i9 vaccines for poor countries. andy moore has this report on restrictions in the uk. london's soho last night. a busy scene on a warm september evening. but the hospitality sector is going to feel the chill of tighter restrictions. table service only and — in england, at least — a 10pm closing time. so what did these people think about the prospect of those changes? i think, personally, it won't make that much of an effect. maybe on the weekend, but itjust depends how long it's going to be going on for, i guess. if this needs to be done then, yeah, it needs to be

speaking in the scottish parliament, ms sturgeon announced a youth guarantee scheme aimed at giving allnt of a national service for elderly care. she also said a draft bill would be drawn up setting out the timing, terms and question for a new scottish independence referendum: brexit in the way in which brexit is being implemented and measurably strengthens the case for scotland becoming an independent country. with the ability to share our own destiny and contribute positively to europe in the world. this was a programme for government and independent scotland it wouldn't have to contemplate the damage of brexit it set to eight instead he could set out even more far—reaching plans. plans for an immediate extension of thejob plans. plans for an immediate extension of the job retention scheme not another plea for government to do so. the greater use of borrowing powers to further stimulate our economy. transformation of our national grid to support faster development of renewables. a migration system that welcomes talent at all levels and supports people to make scotland their home. a un

scotland is speaking out and i state that the scottish parliament will reject this attack on devolutionhe answer is that yes indeed we will press on with this bill because i believe that his attacks on it are totally illogical. it represents a very substantial transfer of powers, sovereignty, to scotland, to wales, it isa sovereignty, to scotland, to wales, it is a massive devolutionary act. what it also does, and i believe this is common ground across the dispatch box, it ensures, it also ensures the integrity of the uk internal market, and he speaks of a tra nsfer of internal market, and he speaks of a transfer of powers to the uk government. on the contrary what he would do is transfer powers notjust over competition and state aids back to brussels but of course over fisheries as well and that is the policy of the scottish nationalist party and it would be a disaster for our country. i am sure that the leader of the snp would like you to withdraw that. it is on the face of the bill that the government of the uk is going to trample over devolution. that is not a lie. you do the right

that's right, what nicola sturgeon said in a scottish parliament earlier on this afternoon was that shelowing these new guidelines straightaway even though they won't actually come into law until monday, so it includes this measure reducing the number of people you can meet together either indoors or outdoors down to sex and additional measures which are a bit different from england, regarding hospitality venues, clubs, restau ra nts, hospitality venues, clubs, restaurants, cappers, people moving around, customers and staff will have to wear masks and also a delay in plans to open up some areas for example theatres, live events, spectator sports, all those changes are put on hold and what nicola sturgeon said was she knew that these developments would be hard to hear but she said they were necessary. “— hear but she said they were necessary. —— six. hear but she said they were necessary. -- six. to help reduce transmission but also to simplify the rules as much as possible this new limit will apply both indoors in houses, pubs and restaurants, and also outdoors including in private gard
