I’ve got a track record throughout my political life of working to make sure as many powers as possible are exercised here in Scotland.
And I would welcome Scotland being able to determine our approach to immigration and to asylum.

So Scotland’s a welcoming country. We want to make sure that when people come to Scotland, we can support them and that we can support them well.
