As an amendment to motion S7M-01844 in the name of Helen McDade (Face Coverings in Public Places), leave out from the first “, including” to end and insert “in public places; recognises that existing powers may be insufficient to prevent crime and serious public disorder where individuals deliberately conceal their identities, and calls on the Scottish Government to review these powers in consultation with Police Scotland and police representatives, and to consider proportionate additional powers to require the removal of face coverings where there are reasonable grounds.”
