Former Scottish 政府 大臣 Ash Regan has also said the 法律制定 should be 廃止するd.

When the 法案 was passed in 2021 she was a junior 大臣, with Ms Regan - who is now an Alba MSP - 説 she raised her 関心s with Humza Yousaf, then the 司法（官） 長官.

'The root 原因（となる） of this is the 腐食 of good governance to 保護（する）／緊急輸入制限 our 法律を制定する 過程s. I must now 味方する with those who call for 廃止する.'
