Article 50 ruling: Devolved views

Parliament must vote on whether the government can start the Brexit process, the Supreme Court has ruled.
The judgement means Theresa May cannot begin talks with the EU until MPs and peers give their backing - although this is expected to happen in time for the government's 31 March deadline.
But the court ruled the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies did not need a say.
We heard from our political expert Norman Smith; Hywel Williams from Welsh party Plaid Cymru - the party wanted to remain but Wales voted to leave the EU; and Gavin Robinson from the Democratic Unionist Party - the DUP wanted to leave but Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU.
