REPORTS that the UK Government could “absolutely” ignore Scottish reforms to the Gender Recognition Act have sparked fury north of the Border.
On Thursday night, it emerged that a BBC government source said that Westminster could mount a legal challenge to the Scottish Government’s plans to make it easier for people to obtain a gender recognition certificate (GRC) – and that reforms could be ignored in other parts of the UK.
The source claimed that it was a “test case scenario” of how Holyrood could undermine Westminster’s competencies.
