Glasgow MSPs and the GRA - Patrick Harvie


I've had to write to Patrick Harvie again, as one of my Glasgow MSPs, because  Patrick has not responded to two separate letters I sent him regarding potential changes to the Gender Recognition Act. 

Dear Patrick Harvie

Consultation on Potential Changes to the Gender Recognition Act

I refer to my original letter dated 19 November 2021 and my reminder letter dated 7 December 2021 regarding potential changes to the Gender Recognition Act.

I would be grateful to know where you stand on these matters, in particular the issue of self-identification, because it would seem hypocritical to me for an MSP to support medical oversight when it comes to a new law on assisted dying or in the case of women accessing abortion services - but to promote self-identification and reject medical oversight in the case of a person wishing to change their sex by law.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards



Mark Irvine

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
