Scottish Ministers may only exercise the power in section 10(1)(b) if they consider that it is necessary to establish a safe access zone in relation to that building or place to protect persons who are accessing, providing or facilitating the provision of treatments or services relating to abortion services at the building or place against the acts which the Bill deems an offence.
Before laying draft regulations under section 10(1)(b), the Scottish Ministers must consult the provider of the treatments or services at the building or place, or the operator of the building or place.
