Briefing: the 2020 Continuity Bill

The Scottish Government announced that in 2020, it will introduce a new Scottish Continuity Bill.

Read this briefing from Dr Tobias Lock about what we learned from the first Continuity Bill that ended up in the Supreme Court. The briefing also looks at what can and cannot be included in the new 2020 Bill.
