The answer

Answered by Jim Fairlie on 22 Sep 2026 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

At this time, the Scottish Government has no plans to regulate this trade and correspondingly we have not consulted with stakeholders on any particular course of action. However, we continue to engage with stakeholders to inform future policy, including the need for further regulation.
