ABSTRACT
The Scotland Act 1998 appears to answer the question of the role of the Scottish Parliament and Executive in foreign policy, foreign, international, or external relations very clearly and directly. Schedule 5 .7.- (1) entitled ‘Foreign affairs etc.’ says
International relations, including relations with territories outside the United Kingdom, the European Communities (and their institutions) and other international organisations, regulation of international trade, and international development assistance and co-operation are reserved matters.
