Sajid Javid has waded into the debate over transgender competitors in sport, saying rules about competing should be governed by "biological sex, not gender".

The Health Secretary voiced his opinion on whether athletes who were born male but now identify as female should be allowed to compete against biological women.

"My own view is that, when it comes to sport, it should be about sex rather than gender – and sex should be based on your biological sex," he told UnHerd.
