Female Scottish Labour members have “grave” concerns about the Government’s gender recognition Bill, according to a leaked report.
The report by the party’s Women’s Committee claimed 45% of respondents did not agree with the proposals, despite Labour MSPs supporting them at Holyrood.
A senior party source questioned the findings, citing concerns over the limited number of people who took part. The Gender Recognition Reform Bill aims to speed up the time it takes for a trans person to obtain a gender recognition certificate (GRC) and lowers the age for obtaining one from 18 to 16.
