Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2025

Debate

Devolved Authorities: Use of Resources

Contribution

I am grateful to the Minister for a helpful response, but is he aware that the Supreme Court case on the definition of gender is just the latest of 10 court cases which the SNP Scottish Government have taken there, costing over £7 billion? Surely something can be done to make sure that they spend UK taxpayers’ money on things such as the city growth deals and replacing the Grenfell-style cladding on the 5,000 premises in Scotland where people’s lives are still in danger.
