KEMI Badenoch has not responded to a request from a Holyrood committee to appear and explain the UK Government’s decision to block Scotland’s gender reforms from becoming law.
The Westminster Women’s and Equalities Minister was invited to attend a session of the Scottish Parliament's Equalities and Human Rights Committee on Tuesday next week, following a snub from Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.
Jack’s decision not to attend was branded an “absolute disgrace”, but said that Badenoch was the relevant minister who should answer questions from MSPs - despite the fact that he was the one who laid the Section 35 order in the House of Commons last week.
