Agricultural decision-making will remain at Holyrood on the day the UK leaves the EU, Brexit secretary David Davis advised MPs during a debate on the EU withdrawal bill on Tuesday.
This is a transitional arrangement, however, which will only remain in place until the UK Government finalises its agreement with the EU over its future relationship and settles with devolved administrations where such devolved powers will lie in future, under so-called “common frameworks”.
Davis said: “The common frameworks will mean that … a farmer in Scotland is able to sell her livestock in other parts of Britain safe in the knowledge that the same animal-health rules apply across that geographical area.”
