The bill has been a contentious issue within the SNP.shortly before MSPs began debating the first stage. A total of seven SNP MSPs broke the whip to vote against it.
During the SNP leadership contest, First Minister Humza Yousaf was the only contender to back action if legal advice supported the move.

On Tuesday, Mr Yousaf said the block was an"undemocratic veto over legislation that was passed by a majority of the Scottish Parliament".
