This is from the JR raised by ForwomenScot.

The outcome is still to be determined

I'm really glad FWS are pursuing this

It's very interesting to see that all the comments are against the SNP's policy, and how many have been written by men.

Front page! Even better.
I turned over front Cop26 sheet and front page together and missed it

Are other groups having their definition illegally rewritten? The EHRC might have a point if the class of 'disabled' people was being 'expanded' to include able bodied people.

And it seems EHRC response to the draft bill was 'why are you focusing on women? What about other protected characteristics?' The EHRC really don't want to acknowledge sex as a protected characteristic do they?

Nice to see it on page 2 of print edition as well. Sunlight!

Why women and the electorate were ignored would be interesting too.

Largely because they would have returned the Wrong Answer. And have this weird idea persisting that the Scots ministers are there to serve them and that they live in a democracy.
