Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

For Women Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers

Contribution

My Lords, I remember Meta Ramsay as an outstanding public servant who was as kind as she was courageous. After numerous Lords Questions and a year-long review, we are left with the controversial code essentially unchanged. I ask, in sympathy with those who feel adversely affected and those who must implement it, how is a local GP surgery or a village hall to navigate proportionality, when three recent court decisions seem to point in different directions? Is this practically possible, or is it time to legislate?
