Scotland plans fresh vote if it is left out of Brexit talks
Nicola Sturgeon's govt seeks to forge its own path with the EU, keeping access to free trade and labour
Edinburgh
SCOTLAND set out its vision for remaining in Europe's single market after vowing to seek independence from the UK, should its voice be ignored in Brexit talks.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon detailed her semi-autonomous government's red lines on keeping access to free trade and labour, as the UK heads into talks on withdrawing from the European Union next year. Scotland wants power over such things as employment law, trade and immigration and the ability to conclude international agreements. Ms Sturgeon reiterated at the weekend her stance on calling for a fresh vote on breaking away from England and Wales if Scotland's demands are not met.
