THE Scottish Conservatives have been accused of filibustering Tuesday night’s marathon debate on the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.
MSPs gathered to debate 153 amendments which were lodged at stage three of the proposed legislation.
It appeared the Scottish Tories were attempting to make the proceedings take as long as possible, tabling four amendments to the agenda from four members, forcing a vote on the timetable for the consideration of amendments, raising a further motion which MSPs had to vote on and a number of points of order.
