The Prostitution (Offences and Support) (Scotland) Bill, informally known as the Unbuyable Bill, was a proposed Act of the Scottish Parliament which aimed to implement the Nordic model approach to prostitution by criminalising the purchase of sex while repealing convictions for solicitation under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. It also aimed to provide statutory assistance for people moving away from sex work.
