Well, with these mechanisms it will not be. It will be a matter entirely for the Secretary of State in the UK Parliament, because the legislation cannot operate unless or until the Secretary of State takes steps to promulgate the appropriate regulations in terms of Section 104. Far from this being a matter for the Scottish Parliament, it is in a sense being usurped, because the present Section 30 order leaves out of account the other reserved matters, such as regulation of the medical profession and issues of employment law. The Scottish Bill becomes law but goes no further.
