UK-Scottish Government Relations

Lord Reid of Cardowan Excerpts

Thursday 24th October 2024 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

We look forward to the outcome of the review and will respond in due course, in the usual manner.

[Lord Reid of Cardowan (Lab)]

Was my noble friend the Minister excited and interested to learn that the SNP Scottish Government have, after considerable effort and research, managed to identify and officially classify 24 different genders? Do His Majesty’s Government have any intention of replicating that research?

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

My Lords, I am always interested in what the SNP is doing in Scotland. At this point, I am not aware of any efforts by the UK Government to repeat that research.
