The new FM said a court confirmed Holyrood cannot legislate in this area.
First Minister John Swinney has ruled out introducing legislation on gender reform after a previous law was vetoed by the UK Government.
The last year of Nicola Sturgeon ’s administration was dominated by a bill to make it easier for trans people to change gender.MSPs passed the gender recognition reform bill but Scottish Secretary Alister Jack issued an order preventing it from coming into force.In an interview with Sky News, Swinney said he would not try and introduce a new law:
“But i think what’s the most important thing that I can say is that to LGBT people in our society, the Scottish Government is on their side, we have been on their side and we will be on their side in the years to come.”“We quite simply can’t proceed with it. It’s legislation that can’t be implemented, so we cannot take that forward.”
