The Presiding Officer NPA
Group 1 is on applications by 16 and 17-year-olds. Amendment 6, in the name of Rachael Hamilton, is grouped with amendments 93, 94, 7, 98, 24, 15, 25, 99, 8,...

As drafted, the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill would lower to 16 the age at which an individual could apply to obtain a gender recognition certifi...
Alex Cole-Hamilton (Edinburgh Western) (LD) LD
If I am called to speak later, I will speak to the number of variances that exist around the age of majority in Scots law. Rachael Hamilton and her group bac...

I thank Alex Cole-Hamilton for that intervention. By comparing the ages of capacity for criminal responsibility and for obtaining a gender recognition certif...
Claire Baker (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab) Lab
I have lodged amendments 93 and 94 in order to raise the issues that have been identified in Dr Hilary Cass’s interim report of her review of gender identity...
Jamie Greene (West Scotland) (Con) Con
I put on record my thanks to the many organisations and individuals who have sent briefings to members. I know that those take a lot of time and effort. In p...
Graham Simpson (Central Scotland) (Con) Con
Will the member take an intervention?
Jamie Greene Con
Yes, in just one a second. I will first speak to amendment 101, which follows on from amendment 98. It provides that, when granting an application to a 16 or...
Graham Simpson Con
In relation to amendment 98, I am interested to know what Jamie Greene means by the phrase “be able to provide reasonable evidence”. There is a danger in a...
Jamie Greene Con
The member makes a fair point. If we had had more time to discuss the amendments—which would have been excellent—the benefit would have been that they could ...
Martin Whitfield (South Scotland) (Lab) Lab
It is a pleasure to follow Jamie Greene and I echo his thanks to those outside the chamber who have provided suggestions, advice and commentary. Much effort ...

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill defines children as “persons under the age of 18.” Does Martin Whi...

Here, in Scotland, young people are aged 16 and 17, and I accept the wording of the UNCRC. It seeks to reinforce the protections that exist for children and ...
Kenneth Gibson (Cunninghame North) (SNP) SNP
For reasons of brevity, I will speak to only two amendments: my amendment 15, which simply seeks to strengthen section 3A, and amendment 6. The bill seeks t...
Emma Roddick (Highlands and Islands) (SNP) SNP
I am a little confused. The member seems to be concerned about demedicalisation and also about the current growth in medicalisation. Does he not recognise th...
Kenneth Gibson SNP
I am of the view that, with proper counselling, it may be that young people will have to seek a clinician. My point about counselling is that they do not hav...
Stephen Kerr (Central Scotland) (Con) Con
I just wanted to intervene to say that I think that the member, like me, attended a meeting that was organised by one of his colleagues, Ruth Maguire. I foun...
Kenneth Gibson SNP
I thank Mr Kerr for that. As he knows, I was also present at that moving, and at times distressing, meeting to listen to those experiences. As for surgery, ...
The Presiding Officer NPA
I call Jamie Greene to speak to amendment 99 on behalf of Christine Grahame.
Jamie Greene Con
I appreciate that this is a somewhat unusual or perhaps unorthodox way of speaking to and moving an amendment, but I will do my best. As members may know,...
Graham Simpson Con
Will the member take an intervention?
Jamie Greene Con
I will, in a second. I will reflect on some of Kenny Gibson’s comments. He is right in saying that there are huge inconsistencies, in the law and socially, ...
Rachael Hamilton Con
Will the member take an intervention?
Jamie Greene Con
Yes, but I will take Mr Simpson’s intervention first.
Graham Simpson Con
I thank Jamie Greene for taking an intervention. I appreciate that he is not speaking to his own amendment, but I am sure that Christine Grahame will be grat...

At the moment, section 3A of the bill says that the applicant must confirm that they have “discussed the implications for the applicant of obtaining a gende...

An article in The BMJ was drawn to my attention, which says that, currently, 7 per cent of people who apply for a GRC have their application turned down. Jam...
