Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Lord Advocate on the commencement of section 50 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 in Scotland.
The Scottish Government has decided that it does not wish section 50 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 to be commenced in full in Scotland and there is no timetable for its commencement. This is a decision for the Scottish Government and there have been no recent discussions on the issue.
