Findlay's bid for self-ID to be scrapped

WOMEN'S rights have been “set on fire” in Scotland, Russell Findlay said in a debate about single-sex spaces.

The Scottish Conservative leader hit out at the Scottish Government, whose push to bring in self-identification of gender was blocked by the UK Government in 2023.

In the Holyrood debate, the party urged ministers to provide “clarity” to public bodies on the need to provide single-sex spaces, following the employment tribunal brought by NHS Fife nurse Sandie Peggie.

Ms Peggie was suspended after an incident with transgender doctor Beth Upton in a female changing room.
