Scotland to ban unlicensed XL bullies, says Humza Yousaf

SNP leader to replicate new restrictions in England and Wales that have resulted in apparent influx to Scotland of breed

Unlicensed XL bully dogs will be banned in Scotland, Humza Yousaf has said, as the Scottish government moves to replicate the new restrictions in England and Wales that have resulted in an apparent influx to the country of the breed.

Speaking at first minister's questions on Thursday, the SNP leader told MSPs: What has become clear, I'm afraid, in the last few weeks is we have seen a flow of XL bully dogs coming to Scotland."
