Humza Yousaf has denied arranging a meeting so he could skip a vote on same sex marriage
Former Health Minister Alex Neil said a ministerial meeting was arranged to take place at "exactly the same time as the vote in Glasgow” because “of pressure [Yousaf] was under from the mosque for him to be absent”.
“There was a request from Humza, because, in his words, of pressure he was under from the mosque for him to be absent from the vote. “And a ministerial meeting was arranged to take place at exactly the same time as the vote in Glasgow to give Humza cover for not being there.” Yousaf's diary records show that he was asked to attend the gay marriage vote on January 14, 2014. But two days later he requested a meeting with the Pakistan Consul General in Glasgow at the same time as the vote.
"As your SNP First Minister, and as someone from a minority background myself, I will stand up and champion equal rights for all."
