Shona Robison called on Westminster to prove it was 'serious about improving the lives of trans people and respecting Scottish democracy'.
The SNP minister who spearheaded gender reforms through Holyrood has demanded the UK Government ditches its opposition to the legislation.
Alister Jack confirmed this week that Westminster would make a Section 35 order to prevent the GRR Bill from going forward for royal assent. The UK Government has urged Scottish ministers to bring forward amendments to the legislation, with Mr Jack saying this could provide a “constructive way forward” in the latest stand-off between the two governments.
"At no point did they ask to amend the provisions in the Bill – neither during the extensive periods of public consultation nor during the drafting and parliamentary stages. "So for the Scottish Secretary to announce this week that he was unilaterally vetoing the Bill is fundamentally disrespectful to Scotland’s Parliament and the MSPs who have been part of its scrutiny, consideration and passing."
