AN SNP MP has laid a written declaration at the Council of Europe urging the UK Government to U-turn on their use of a Section 35 order.
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack invoked the little-known part of the Scotland Act earlier this month, stopping Scotland’s gender reforms, which made the process for a transgender person to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) simpler.
And now the SNP’s Hannah Bardell (Livingston) has taken the issue to the Council of Europe (CoE), the continent’s leading human rights organisation, and laid a written declaration that said she believes the move was “deeply regrettable”.
