To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the number of convictions that have been made under section 40 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 since it came into force.
I refer the member to the answer to question S6W-34490 on 18 February 2025:
Based on the latest published Criminal Proceedings data (available to 2022-23), since January 2014, there have been no prosecutions under section 40(1) of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (where this was the main crime).
The Criminal Proceedings in Scotland bulletin (2023-24) is scheduled for publication in autumn 2025.
