Humza Yousaf denies arranging meeting to skip same-sex marriage vote

Humza Yousaf has denied arranging a meeting so he could skip a vote on same sex marriage.

Former Health Minister Alex Neil said a ministerial meeting was arranged to take place at "exactly the same time as the vote in Glasgow” because “of pressure [Yousaf] was under from the mosque for him to be absent”.

But when Yousaf was asked if he “deliberately arranged a meeting” so he could miss the vote, he said: "No, that was not done. It was an unavoidable meeting that was arranged."
