Europe Committee convener Joan McAlpine says when Mr Mundell appeared before the Scottish Affairs Committee a very strong impression was given there was analysis of the impact of Brexit on Scotland.

Mr Mundell says he did not mean to give that impression.

Ms McAlpine asks why there is not Scotland specific analysis.

Mr Mundell says Scotland's interests in the sectors are part of the sector analysis, which is UK wide.

UK government assessments of the potential economic impact of Brexit on Scotland will not be made public, the Brexit secretary has confirmed.

But the analysis will be shared with the Scottish government, David Davis told a committee of MPs.

Mr Davis told the Brexit select committee that publishing the analysis could undermine the national interest.

However, Nicola Sturgeon said people had a right to know how leaving the EU would affect all areas of the UK.

And she said any refusal to release the information to the public would be "unconscionable".

David Mundell says "The UK's exit remains one of the most high profile issues and there is much work ahead.

"I welcome the committee's work and continued engagement."

He explains to SNP MSP Joan McAlpine regarding a question on withholding information on Brexit, that "There is not a Scotland specific analysis.

"The government is reflecting on last night's vote, of course it respects parliament and this parliament, but it has a duty to act in best interests of UK."

Last month we reported progress had been welcomed following "constructive" Brexit talks between ministers from the UK and devolved governments.

The Scottish and Welsh administrations are locked in dispute with UK ministers over the EU Withdrawal Bill.

Both sides said progress had been made in the latest round of talks in London, with the principles underpinning how powers are shared out being agreed.

However, the devolved governments still want changes made to legislation.

Scottish and Welsh political leaders had been critical of delays in holding meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) on Europe.

A series of bilateral meetings and other talks between politicians and officials have been ongoing, but Monday's meeting was the first full JMC since February.

The devolved administrations have threatened to withhold legislative consent for the EU Withdrawal Bill unless amendments are agreed to protect their powers through the process of Brexit.

Scottish Secretary David Mundell says he believes by approaching the negotiations in a constructive way the UK government will deliver a deal that works for the whole of the UK.

Mr Mundell says there has been a positive collaboration between the UK government and the devolved nations.

He says: "There are signs of real progress."

The Scottish secretary says there was "positive progress" at the recent JMCEN.

He says: "It is vital the voices of Scottish business and other stakeholders are heard clearly in this debate."

Scottish Secretary David Mundell begins with an opening statement on the Brexit negotiations.

Mr Mundell says: "I am ambitious and positive about Scotland's future and these negotiations.

"Both sides have approached the talks with professionalism.

"We have agreement on a number of matters.

"We have achieved two important steps - on the financial settlement, and the time period."

The man who led the "No" campaign in the Scottish independence referendum has called for Holyrood to have more control over immigration policy.

Lord Darling said a shortage of immigrants was a major concern for Scotland in the Brexit process.

He said Scotland's particular demographic challenges may require a different approach.

A Westminster committee is to examine the effectiveness of UK immigration policy in Scotland.

The Scottish Affairs Committee has launched an inquiry into how well the current system meets the country's needs and how Brexit could affect it.

Immigration is reserved to Westminster, but Scottish ministers want powers to be devolved so a Scottish-specific policy can be developed.

UK ministers argue that this would create complications and harm business.

The UK should avoid giving the impression it does not want a Brexit deal or that it would take one at any price, Liam Fox has told MPs.

The international trade secretary said he was "keen" on getting agreement but "not afraid" of ending up without one.

He told a Commons committee some within the EU wanted a "political rather than an economic" settlement based on deterring other members from leaving.

Talk of punishing Britain, he said, was the "language of a gang, not a club".

The day after triggering Brexit, the government published details of its "Great Repeal Bill". Described by Theresa May as an "essential step" on the way to leaving the EU, it aims to ensure European law will no longer apply in the UK.

It is now beginning its journey into law, with the formal title of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. Here's how it will work:
