Scotland’s First Minister has said he would “very imminently” confirm if he will launch a legal battle with the UK Government after it blocked a Bill backed by MSPs which would have made it easier to change gender.
Humza Yousaf, who took over as leader of the SNP less than a month ago, said on Tuesday that while he was considering legal advice, he had made it clear in his campaign to become First Minister the block was a “undemocratic veto over legislation that was passed by a majority of the Scottish Parliament”.
