First, the Bill in question is only at stage 2 in the Scottish Parliament and still requires to complete stage 3. It can still be amended, and, as such, its final form cannot be known. As we might expect in these circumstances, the Scottish Government have noted that the details of what any future Section 104 order might contain are still being worked through. Indeed, they have also indicated that consideration is being given to whether it might be possible to amend some of the provisions to limit the scope of the powers so that they can be more clearly understood to be for purposes within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
