Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney criticized the UK Government's Internal Market Act (IMA) for not exempting glue traps in the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland)

Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney criticised the lack of exemption for glue traps in the UK Government's Internal Market Act (IMA). The Scottish Government had asked for an exemption to allow a ban on the sale, use, and possession of glue traps under the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill, but the UK Government did not grant the request. The UK Government argued that there was not enough evidence to demonstrate that a ban on the sale of glue traps would be more effective than a ban focused on their use and possession.
