General Scheme of Gender Recognition Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)
10:15 am
Ms Noeline Blackwell:
If I make one very brief point, what is not in the scheme is the opportunity that will arise now - which legislators will know might not arise for years again - to include discrimination on the grounds of transgender or intersex gender identity in the equality legislation. In our view this could be usefully added.
