SNP ministers have threatened to derail the UK Government’s plans for an “orderly” Brexit unless they are handed a swathe of new powers repatriated from Brussels.

Mike Russell, the SNP’s Brexit Minister, warned the Scottish Parliament could withhold consent for a swathe of legislation required to plug gaps in the statute book after EU law ceases to apply.

In particular, he said the Nationalists would not agree to the UK Government unilaterally creating post-Brexit laws covering agriculture, fisheries, environmental policy and justice in Scotland.

Mr Russell said all powers repatriated from Brussels in these areas have to be devolved to Holyrood. SNP ministers would then decide if it was “sensible or desirable” to agree a common UK framework with their counterparts in Whitehall.

In a separate threat to withhold consent for the Repeal Bill, which will replace thousands of redundant EU laws, the minister said that the Scottish Parliament would use any vote on it “to express its view on Brexit.”

His proposal clashes with Theresa May’s blueprint for Westminster to create UK-wide replacements for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), before devolving responsibility for delivery to Scotland.

The Prime Minister has warned that the SNP’s plan to devolve all powers in these areas would create different regimes north and south of the Border and trade barriers within the UK.
