Scotland and the EU

Thanks to the Prime Minister (at PMQ's yesterday) for reminding us that one of the prime factors in the Scottish referendum campaign was the legal opinion that Scotland could not automatically remain in the EU on independence, and that her application to join would likely be vetoed by Spain at least. In 2014, the UK government's policy was to remain within the EU.

I would like to ask Mrs May, now that her government's policy on membership has changed, whether she has asked fellow ministers on the Council if their view on an independent Scotland's membership has changed also.
