THE SNP gave their MSPs licence to vote against the Government on reforming gender recognition law, one of the party’s prominent rebels against the law change bid has said.
Glasgow Shettleston MSP John Mason is among those who defied the SNP whip last week but told The National he expected no action to come from the rebellion – the party’s biggest in their 15 years in government.
George Adam, who enforces party discipline for the SNP, told his MSPs they must vote for the bill – an instruction ignored by some.
