Scotland's place in Europe inquiry

Inquiry

The overall EU referendum result was a vote for leave, but a breakdown of the vote shows that in Scotland a clear majority of people voted to remain. The inquiry looks at available options for retaining Scotland's EU membership and focus on how Scotland can best be represented in future negotiations.
