Will right wing Labour Brit Nats object to this Tartan Tory plot?

Will they vote to bring back the Proscription Acts of 1745?

I was under the impression that the Lord Lyon already had the power to register tartans, and actually did so. Presumably they now want to register all the bumbee tartans, like those of certain football clubs etc.

How do they propose dealing with Irish and Northumberalnd tartans? Would seem more appropraite this is given to Westminster to ensure consistency, but I guess its really an EU matter now?
