MSPs will now vote on the motion and amendments calling for refusal of legislative consent to the EU Withdrawal Bill.

Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh suspends until decision at 5pm.

Don't go away.

Mr Russell insists businesses and people are suffering the "chaos of a Tory Brexit".

The Brexit minister denies this is a debate on the "head of a pin" citing food standards, chemicals and procurement.

He says the normality of the new Clause 11 (Clause 15 now) is the overriding of the Scottish Parliament.

Brexit Minister Mike Russell begins by saying the Scottish Conservatives have never been more concerned about the people of Wales or the Lib Dem lords and MPs.

The only people the Scottish Conservatives do not seem to be concerned about is the Scottish people, Mr Russell states.

He reiterates that the Scottish government does want an agreement on the Bill - but not at any price.

Mr Russell confirms he will write to Cabinet Minister David Lidington to request a cross-party meeting on the issues, thus supported Scottish Labour's amendment.

The minister argues the Bill would allow the UK government to reverse any decisions taken by the Scottish parliament for seven years.

He claims this is "anti-democratic action" will "muzzle" the Scottish parliament.

Tory MSP Jackson Carlaw insists; "This is not a power grab, it is a power transfer, a power transfer to the Scottish Parliament."

Mr Carlaw says he understands that the Scottish government are trying to produce political grievance to further their independence cause.

He calls on MSPs to support the LCM at decision time.

Tory MSP Jackson Carlaw begins by stating that it is a matter of regret that the disagreement over the EU Withdrawal Bill has gotten to this point.

We have managed to agree changes with the UK government which directly address many of the concerns Brexit Minister Mike Russell raises, Mr Carlaw argues.

He criticises Scottish Labour and the Scottish Lib Dems for their positions, pointing to the Welsh government's agreement and the stance taken by the Lib Dem lords.

Mr Kelly concludes saying there is an onus on MSPs to say the current settlement is not acceptable, but also that they will not give up on this dispute.

The Labour MSP warns against a "disastrous scenario" of ending up in the courts which would not serve the people of Scotland.

He says all of the parliament should have input.

Closing for Labour, James Kelly MSP confirms his party will not consent to the EU Withdrawal Bill and reiterates the belief that there should be cross-party talks to broker an agreement.

He repeats previous concerns about a lack of a dispute mechanism between the governments, suggesting this creates a "power imbalance".

Scottish Green co-convener asks what Labour expects to happen as a result of more cross-party talks.

Mr Kelly suggests this debate has been useful in terms of offering practical solutions.

He adds that an exploration of the issue by all parties could lead to a resolution.

In April Sottish ministers rejected a bid to settle the dispute over post-Brexit powers, despite the Welsh and UK governments striking a deal.

The UK government published changes to the EU Withdrawal Bill in an effort to end the long-running row with the devolved administrations.

Welsh ministers reached an agreement with their UK counterparts.

But the Scottish government said there was still a "key sticking point" and called for further changes to be made.

SNP MSP Gillian Martin says the EU Withdrawal Bill would grant UK ministers the power to restrict devolved powers.

No one is arguing that there should not be common frameworks but it is important they come about through joint agreement, Ms Martin insists.

The UK government neither understands nor prioritises rural Scotland, she argues.

I just don't trust the UK government to prioritise fishing over the car industry for example, Ms Martin adds.

SNP MSP Richard Lochhead argues people across Scotland will expect MSPs to stand together to "protect the powers of the Scottish Parliament, because devolution is under threat".

Mr Lochhead insists he believes the UK want to regulate in the 24 areas at the centre of this dispute to stop Scotland doing something different and doing what it is elected to do.
