UK pledges to amend EU withdrawal bill, soothe Scottish devolution worries

Britain's government will amend the European Union withdrawal bill in time for it to win backing from Scotland's pro-independence devolved administration, Britain's Scotland minister said on Tuesday."I can confirm today that amendments to Clause 11 of the bill will be brought forward in the House of Lords (Britain's upper legislative chamber), allowing for further discussions to take place between the UK government and Scottish government," David Mundell said in a statement.
