Resolves on Hansard (Commons or Lords, published the same day) and gov.uk (written statements, news, correspondence). YES if a UK minister states on the record, on or before 30 November 2026, that a Scottish statutory food price cap would breach or conflict with the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, or would need an exclusion the Government would not grant. Under the two-source rule, BBC News and The Guardian reporting the same on-record statement. A remark attributed to unnamed sources does not count.
We found ten Scottish measures since 2012 that needed UK clearance. Each was passed by the Scottish Parliament, or sent to court before it was introduced. It could only work as passed if the UK Supreme Court found it within Holyrood's powers, if no UK order blocked it under section 35 of the Scotland Act 1998, or if the UK granted an exception from the Internal Market Act. We asked whether it came through in full. The last eight are shown.
