Brexit Minister Mike Russell urges the committee to reject the Tory amendements but calls on Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott to discuss his amendment ahead of Stage 3.

Mr Scott accepts that offer and does not move his amendment.

The Tory amendments are not agreed to or not moved.

We move to the last grouping to be considered this evening, titled "Interpretation of retained (devolved) EU law: status of decisions of the European Court after exit day".

This will also mean the committee will finish contemplation of the bill tonight at the end of section 10, with the rest to be considered from 8am tomorrow.

Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott says his amendment means the courts of tribunals would have to pay close attention to the retained EU regulation.

Tory MSP Adam Tomkins also speaks to his amendments in the group.

Labour MSP James Kelly offers support to Mr Scott's amendment but not to Mr Tomkins'.

The minister's amendment 108 is agreed to unanimously.

The conenver says it is agreed and he says he was taken by surprise.

Then, after a drought of agreed amendments, the second one comes as Mr Russell's amendment 109 is also agreed to unanimously.

Brexit Minister Michael Russell says the Scottish government recognises the importance of Francovich.

He notes the claim need not be raised in court prior to exit day in the Continuity Bill, unlike the UK government's approach to the principle.

The Scottish government has generally sought to carry over EU law he says, but he argues Francovich is linked to EU membership.

It is difficult to see what retaining Francovich would mean post-Brexit given it refers directly to not implementing EU law, he states.

The amendment is not agreed to.

Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott speaks to the only proposed amendment to section 8 of the bill.

He says the Francovich principle has been established in Scots law for 25 years and says it should be retained.

Labour MSP Neil Bibby agrees with this, while Green MSP Patrick Harvie says he is "open to this amendment".

Tory MSP Adam Tomkins confirms the Scottish Conservatives will not support is as there is "no reason" for the Continuity Bill to differ from the EU Withdrawal Bill on the matter.

The Francovich principle is a principle of EU law which requires damages to be available where a member state breaches a rule of EU law and conditions are met

Labour MSP James Kelly offers support to Maurice Golden's amendment.

Acknowledging the minister saying the information would be made public, he says putting it in the bill will make this certain.

He also confirms he will support Michael Russell's amendments.

Mr Golden's amendment is defeated.

MSPs are now debating amendments 99, 100, 101, 102, 103 around the principle of supremacy of EU law.

Tory MSP speak to their amendments and Labour MSP James Kelly speaks against their amendments.

Brexit Minister Mike Russell says the Tory amendemnts cause more confusion and cast doubt on the position.

Mr Russell calls on members to vote against the Tory amendments.

Tory MSP Liam Kerr says he will not press amendment 99 and 102, but press his other amendments.

He says: "We must use words that have meaning."

This appears to amuse his colleague Murdo Fraser.

Amendment 100 is not agreed to, neither is 101,103,104,105 or 106.

Time for a five minute suspension.

Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott confirms he will bring his amendment back at stage 3 if assurances are not given, but agrees to not move it for now.

Green MSP Mark Ruskell also withdraws his amendments.

Tory MSP Adam Tomkins presses his amendment, which is then rejected 6-5.

Brexit Minister Mike Russell says he will make assurances to Mark Ruskell and Tavish Scott relating to their amendments.

Mr Russell says he is a former environment minster and is as sceptical as Patrick Harvie is about what the Green MSP calls the "Brexit ultras".

He says he is absolutely determined to prevent environmental protections being weakened.

Labour MSP Neil Bibby says his party is willing to support the amendments from Mark Ruskell and Tavish Scott, as they set out practical environmental safeguards.

Green MSP Patrick Harvie says "I want to hear something very positive from the minister" on these issues.

Green MSP Mark Ruskell refers members to the pre-stage 2 debate for his reasons behind his amendments in this group.

The principles on animal sentience are not just about where the rules have come from and where they are now, but also about where they are going, he says.

The MSP urges the minister to clarify how the Scottish government will seek to keep pace with EU law on animal sentience going forward.

Mr Ruskell explains his amendments differ to the others in the group because they attempt to disapply EU case law.

He also noted an offer of the UK government to consult on environmental protections and who will carry out specific functions.

.....so join us tomorrow morning from 8am, where we'll continue full coverage of the Stage 2 proceedings of the EU Continuity Bill.

Mr Scott moves amendment 4, the biggest, yet in his name.

Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott says he's having to miss Shetland on the telly.

Mr Scott is the Shetland MSP, so we can forgive him!

Labour MSP Claudia Beamish has withdrawn both her amendments in light of comments from the minister.

Labour MSP Colin Smyth does likewise with his amendment.
