The present Section 30 order addresses only one of those issues—medical substances, as in Section 15(8). Even with the Section 30 order that is proposed, this Bill will not be competent and will not be law, even if passed by the Scottish Parliament. It does not address the other expressly reserved issues, including regulation of the medical professions. It cannot be made law by virtue of the Secretary of State making a regulation under Section 104, for the reason I have already given. The Bill will be dead, not ailing.
