An SNP minister has insisted there is "no option" but to launch a legal challenge against the UK Government over its decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill.
Shirley-Anne Somerville, the Social Justice Secretary, made a statement to Holyrood today after the Scottish Government announced it would go to court to challenge the Section 35 order laid down by Westminster.
Alister Jack, the Scottish Secretary, had previously argued that Holyrood gender reforms would negatively impact on UK-wide equalities laws.
