Heather Cameron - Scottish Youth Parliament says one member of the group raised concerns over food safety because of allergies.

Ms Cameron says EU law stipulates that consumers must be informed of allergens in food and if this is not maintained it could pose serious health risks. 

She says there are concerns around environmental laws because many of those come from the EU.

Ms Cameron says the group were able to look at it as an opportunity to make laws better.

Lauren O'Keefe expresses concerns about the loss of environmental protection laws.

Ms O'Keefe says lessons can be learned from Europe on renewables.

Heather Cameron from the Scottish Youth Parliament asks how will research into improvements in the environment when the UK government has cut funding for this.

Ms Cameron says many European countries have high levels of public transport and she says her group was very keen for public transport in Scotland to be improved.

SNP MSP Stuart McMillan says it is the issue of being fully educated and says he studied European business management. 

Mr McMillan says there is a challenge to include more in education but it is often more about the amount of time pupils spend in school. 

David Chipakupaku from VOMO (Voice of my OWN) says physical education is important but that there is a tendency to favour sports over arts and political education. 

Mr Chipakupaku says there needs to be a discussion around education and what is included.

Green MSP Ross Greer agrees there is a need for more education in a whole range of areas to foster a sense of multiculturalism.

Mr Greer asks how should the negotiations proceed. 

Lara Carmena says there is a big filter on what people find out from big news channels.

Ms Carmena says people must be fully educated on what is going on.

Labour MSP Lewis Macdonald asks if a change needs to be made in our domestic arrangements to improve human rights. 

Mr Chipakupaku says people need to be better informed.

Lara Carmena says more should be done to educate people to explore other cultures. 

David Chipakupaku from VOMO (Voice of my OWN) says when freedom of expression and freedom of religous expression is harmed it is "worrying".

Ms Carmena says "being different is something which should be celebrated" and is an opportunity to bring people together."

Lara Carmena says EU citizens have had no certainty and are being used as bargaining chips.

David Chipakupaku from VOMO (Voice of my OWN) cites hate crime statistics across the UK

Mr Chipakupaku says he has had numerous experiences of race based hate crimes against him which have increased since the Brexit vote.

He calls for the more tolerant voices who voted for Brexit to make their voices heard.

There was anger, external about the fact that 16 and 17 year olds were denied a vote in the EU referendum, whereas Scots of the same age were able to participate in 2014's vote on independence.

But there's a danger in generalising.

Other demographic factors have been at play, too. There was evidence to suggest, external that class, level of education and previous history of having voted UKIP were important, too. Areas with higher rates of immigration were more likely to support Remain.

And though most 18 to 25 year olds backed Remain, many didn't.

David Chipakupaku from VOMO (Voice of my OWN) says one concern is over who the UK is talking to regarding trade deals. 

Mr Chipakupaku says there are concerns that the UK are talking to countries who execute people for being gay or deny citizens internet access. 

He says the security of rights of EU migrants has not been secured and it is concerning that "people's livelihoods are being played around with." 

There is evidence to suggest younger voters were vastly more likely to support Remain than their parents and grandparents.

The polling industry's methods may have been widely called into question since the 2015 general election. But successive polls consistently found there was a relationship between age and likelihood to support leaving the EU.

A survey by Lord Ashcroft, external of 12,369 referendum voters after they had cast their ballot suggested that the older they were, the more likely they were to have voted Leave.

Almost three quarters (73%) of 18 to 24-year-olds said they had voted to stay in the EU, compared with 62% of 25 to 34s and 52% of 35 to 44s. Support for Brexit formed a majority among every other age category and grew with each, peaking at 60% among those aged 65 and over.

Similarly, comparing data from the 2011 Census with the referendum results indicate a pattern, says Rob Ford, professor of political science at the University of Manchester.

It's "pretty evident" that "places with lots of older voters voted for Brexit while places with more younger voters voted Remain", he says.

Martine Bisenius from the EU Society at Edinburgh University says many people will think twice about coming to the UK to study.

Labour MSP Lewis Macdonald says the Bologna process is independent of the EU and it should be clear that this would not be under threat because of Brexit.

Mr Macdonald asks if it would help if those who had been in the country for five years or more could stay. 

Martine Bisenius - EU Society, Edinburgh University says this would definitely help matters.

Maximillian Kriz, EU Society, Edinburgh University says ideally it would be even shorter than five years.

Many young Remain supporters have been blaming older voters for Brexit. But was there really a generational divide?

Remain supporter Elizabeth Mayfield, 19, looked on in despair as the referendum results came in.

And she knew who she blamed - an older generation that she sees as having secure jobs and gold-plated generous pensions, people who had caused house prices to soar and plunged the country into debt.

"I'm annoyed that baby boomers have messed things up for us again," says Mayfield, a student at Staffordshire University.

"They've voted for something that's not going to really affect them. They're not going to have to deal with the consequences."

It has been a common refrain on social media. Brexit would ruin "a whole generation's future despite them voting against", said one, external Tweeter. Another added, external: "Thank you baby boomers for the last nail in my generation's coffin."

A screen grab of a comment on the Financial Times website was widely shared. Young people's freedom of movement, it said, external, had been snatched away from "a generation that was already drowning in the debts of our predecessors".

Green MSP Ross Greer says there is now the potential of not being able to attract students from the EU, because of Brexit.

Mr Greer asks what can be done in terms of the overall message to young people across Europe to convince them Scotland will still be an attractive place to come to.

Maximillian Kriz from the EU Society at Edinburgh University says a big effort has to be made.

He says people in Europe are only hearing English media talking about Theresa May's Brexit, not how attractive Scotland is. 

Martine Bisenius says young insecurities have to be addressed over tuition fees and the message "we are European friendly, we love European students" must be got out.

Committee convener Joan McAlpine says one of the big challenges for Scotland is demographics and that more people are needed to live and work here.

Ms McAlpine asks if the uncertainty around funding is affecting young people coming here.

Maximillian Kriz, EU Society, Edinburgh University says Scottish universities are attractive because of the high class education system.

Martine Bisenius - EU Society, Edinburgh University says that she was planning on staying in Scotland following graduation but because of the uncertainty around the status of EU nationals she will probably leave.

Ms Bisenius says the uncertainty for EU nationals is meaning that young people may leave the country. 

Maximillian Kriz says his group this morning wanted to secure the Erasmus programme.

Mr Kriz calls for young people to have more voice during the negotiations.

There are fears over the future of the Erasmus, a £112m EU exchange programme that allows students to spend time elsewhere in Europe as part of their degree.
