Legislation

We will introduce an ambitious legislative programme that drives forward sustainable and inclusive economic growth and shows our commitment to a fairer Scotland. The uncertainties of Brexit mean that the precise volume and timing of Brexit legislation that will need to be considered by the Scottish Parliament is still unclear. We will prioritise delivery of our legislative programme to ensure Scotland’s interests are protected. We will also continue work to enable us to deliver Bills on Gender Recognition and Forensic Medical Examinations for next year’s legislative programme.
