A SERIES of Unionist politicians have lined up to intervene after the Scottish parliament voted for gender reform, with a key divide emerging on how it will impact on the future of the UK.
Theresa May, the former Tory prime minister, has come out in support of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, saying she is disappointed that similar legislation is not being considered in England.
She also suggested that efforts from the UK Government to invoke Section 35 of the Scotland Act and block the bill from becoming law – something Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has suggested he is considering – would fuel support for Scottish independence.
