The Scottish Government insisted the move would help combat “future public health threats”.
But shocked rivals lashed the “sinister” plan.
Scottish Tory MP Andrew Bowie said: “The Scottish Government have gone power mad.
“It is completely unacceptable for them to be suggesting that the powers granted to them, in an emergency situation, should be held in perpetuity.
“The desperate desire to control people’s lives is depressing and sinister.
These were emergency powers for emergency times.
“We need to get back to normality.”
