38. The food and drink growth sector comprises agriculture, fishing, aquaculture, food and drink manufacturing.
39. The number of non-UK EU Nationals employed in the food and drink growth sector is estimated from the Annual Population Survey 2015, ONS. As the Annual Population Survey is based on a survey of private households in the UK, seasonal workers are unlikely to be captured. The industry sector of employment is self-reported in this source. Non‑UK seasonal migrant workers are estimated from the Annual Census of Scottish Agriculture, a separate SG statistical source.

61. The constitutional requirements for establishing a devolved parliament in a constituent part of a larger EU member state were considered at length during the passage of the Scotland Act 1998: see Second Reading debate, House of Commons, January 1998: http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1998/jan/12/scotland-bill
62. The First Minister of Wales has stated that “…withdrawal from the EU is a massive constitutional shift for the UK and it has equally far-reaching implications for the devolution settlement. The relationship between devolved administrations and the UK Government must now be placed onto an entirely different footing. http://gov.wales/about/cabinet/cabinetstatements/2016-new/eureferendum/?lang=en
