The Secretary of State for Scotland, Rt Hon Alister Jack MP said:
I welcome the Court바카라 사이트™s judgment, which upholds my decision to prevent the Scottish 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트™s gender recognition legislation from becoming law.
I was clear that this legislation would have had adverse effects on the operation of the law as it applies to reserved matters, including on important Great Britain-wide equality protections.Â
Following this latest Court defeat for the Scottish 바카라 사이트, their ministers need to stop wasting taxpayers바카라 사이트™ money pursuing needless legal action and focus on the real issues which matter to people in Scotland - such as growing the economy and cutting waiting lists.
