A LABOUR peer was told to “be polite” after speaking over a woman while discussing the Scottish Government’s transgender law reforms.
Lord Falconer KC, a former justice secretary under Tony Blair, attempted to interrupt barrister Naomi Cunningham, who is also the chair of the pressure group Sex Matters during a meeting of the Westminster equalities committee.
He was reprimanded by committee chair and Tory MP Caroline Noakes, who told him: “Can we please be polite to other witnesses, thank you, Lord Falconer?”
