The Scottish Parliament has said it will not give its consent to any future Brexit legislation until problems surrounding Westminster's "grab" of devolved powers are fixed, according to Scotland's Brexit Minister Michael Russell. He called for the Sewel Convention, which covers devolved powers, to be codified in law, while First Minister David Lidington, who had "frank" talks with UK cabinet minister Nicola Sturgeon, said the convention "wasn't worth the paper it was written on".
