Ms Sturgeon said: "I don't know any more now about the UK Government's approach to the EU negotiations than I did before I went in to the meeting.

"I can't speak for the other devolved administrations but I think there was a degree of frustration shared by all of us about that.

"I'm not seeking to undermine anyone. I don't know what the UK's negotiating position is, so there's nothing there that I can see to undermine,' she said. Mrs Sturgeon said she was not prepared to 'sit back and see Scotland driven over a hard Brexit cliff edge."

The First Minister said there was "a long way to go" and warned the consequences of leaving the Single Market for Scotland are "severe".

Scotland will bring forward "specific proposals" for a "flexible Brexit" that would keep the nation in the single market even if the rest of the UK leaves.
