Prevent SNP from passing a bill to make any temporary pandemic powers permanent
Prevent Scottish government from passing the The Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Bill as it is a completely unnecessary overreach of power.
The Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Bill would give ministers the powers to respond to public health emergencies in a similar way to legislation passed in response to Covid-19.
This includes powers to impose lockdown restrictions, allow court hearings to take place remotely and restrict access to schools without parliamentary approval.
This Bill is an alarming and unnecessary overreach by the SNP, there is simply no excuse for bypassing Parliament.
