BACKGROUND

The Brexit process has entered its critical phase. Absent any change, the UK is scheduled to leave the European Union at the end of next March. Even at this late stage, it remains unclear whether the EU and UK will conclude a withdrawal agreement, or whether it will be approved by both sides. The shape of the UK’s future relationship with the EU may also not become known until some time after its departure. Scotland voted decisively to remain in the EU, and the Scottish Government has pursued a distinctly different approach to Brexit than the UK Government. At this pivotal juncture, Cabinet Secretary Michael Russell MSP will give a speech in the majestic McEwan Hall outlining the Scottish Government’s view on the way forward for Scotland as Brexit nears.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Michael Russell MSP is Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations and Member of the Scottish Parliament for Argyll and Bute. He was previously Minister for UK Negotiations on Scotland’s Place in Europe from August 2016 to June 2018. Mr Russell was Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning from 2009 to 2014, and earlier served as Minister for the Environment and Minister for Culture, External Affairs and the Constitution. He is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh.

This event is free. Registration in advance required. All are welcome
