LABOUR must reform the Internal Market Act or risk consigning devolved governments to “years of inertia, delay and uncertainty,” campaigners have warned.

The post-Brexit Act was passed by the Tories in 2020 with the aim of harmonising legislation within the United Kindgom and creating a nationwide single market, limiting the legislative powers of devolved administrations in economic policy.

A new report for Scottish Environment Link (SEL), a charity which brings together more than 40 different environmental groups, argues that the legislation is stifling innovation.
