A NEW constitutional row has opened up as the UK Government blocked Scotland from banning glue traps.
The issue itself is fairly uncontentious. Glue traps are widely considered to be cruel, and they are also restricted in England.
From July, it will be illegal for most people to use glue traps. Pest controllers will be allowed to register for a licence to use them. This means they are still allowed to be sold across the Border.Because of the Internal Market Act, the Scottish Government had to apply for an exemption to make its law different from England and Wales. This was declined.The Internal Market Act came into force at the very end of 2020.
In a letter to Barclay on Sunday, Shona Robison excoriated the UK Government for blocking Scotland’s glue trap ban. But she did not specifically say what her next moves would be.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
