Meeting of the Parliament 25 June 2026 [Draft]
Does the First Minister welcome the recent landmark legal ruling by Lady Ross on the case brought by that excellent organisation For Women Scotland? Will he ensure that it is implemented in full, in letter and in spirit as soon as possible? Will he further ensure that the principles of that ruling are rolled out across the entire public sector, including the national health service, immediately, which would avoid the need for any further waste of taxpayers’ money on defending the indefensible in court?
Furthermore, will he ensure that information materials that are published by activist organisations and are contrary to the letter and spirit of Lady Ross’s ruling are withdrawn from all public organisations and institutions and that cessation of their production and distribution becomes a condition of any further public funding for those activist groups?
Finally, does he share my relief that Isla Bryson—who is apparently known in prison as Isla Man—will now be detained in a male jail and, upon release, should not be allowed access to women’s toilets, whether here in Holyrood or anywhere in Scotland?
