Scotland could veto Brexit laws: Sturgeon
London
SCOTLAND'S Parliament would consider blocking legislation on Britain's exit from the European Union if that were necessary to protect Scottish interests, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday.
Scotland, a nation of five million people, voted to stay in the EU by 62 to 38 per cent in a referendum last Thursday, putting it at odds with the United Kingdom as a whole, which voted 52 to 48 per cent in favour of an exit from the bloc, or "Brexit".
