THE final debate on changes to gender recognition legislation has been severely disrupted after members of the public protested in the public gallery.
MSPs gathered to debate a whopping 153 amendments to the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill before the final vote is held on Wednesday.
Proceedings were almost immediately suspended after a motion submitted by the Scottish Conservatives, which sought to delay the vote under grounds that it had not been sufficiently consulted on, was not circulated to all MSPs.
