ALISTER Jack has said the trans community was “not part of my thinking at all” when it came to his decision to block gender reform in Scotland.
Instead, the Scottish Secretary insisted his unprecedented use of Section 35 of the Scotland Act was “entirely” for legal reasons.
Speaking from Kilmarnock during a visit to the Scottish town on Thursday, Jack was quizzed on his decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which passed with support from all five parties in the Scottish Parliament.
