Gender critical campaigners demand action from government on toilet access
The Supreme Court's ruling in April said the words 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.
Sex Matters say the government must make a statement that all single-sex facilities on its estate must be interpreted as meaning biological sex.
Ministers, including John Swinney, say they accept the judgment and have convened a working group to review their policies, as well as having discussions with the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
The campaign group, led by Maya Forstater, sent its first letter before action in June and another was sent to Scottish Government officials on Wednesday.
The latest letter gives the government seven days to respond and says: 'To the extent that the Scottish Government does not immediately stop the unlawful practices set out in this letter we may decide to commence proceedings without further warning.'
It notes there are 1,016 toilets across the government's core estate, in a mixture of unisex and separate-sex facilities.
The letter calls on the government to make a statement that 'all facilities designated as male or female within the Scottish Government estate are to be interpreted as meaning biological sex, and that gender-neutral options are widely available'.
A Scottish Government's official responded to Sex Matters' previous letter, saying they accept the Supreme Court ruling.
The letter, dated June 27, said: 'We are now taking action to implement the ruling.
'This includes the establishment of a short life working group to review existing policies, guidance and legislation which may be impacted by the judgment.
'The work of this group is under way and covers all relevant portfolios across government.
'This work is enabling us towards a state of readiness to take all necessary steps to implement the ruling.'
The government has been approached for further comment.

Fire service 999 response times slowest in decade last year, figures show
The Tories have accused the Scottish Government of jeopardising public safety through 'savage' fire service budget cuts after 999 response times hit their slowest level in 10 years. Data obtained from the fire service by the Scottish Conservatives via Freedom of Information showed that in 2024 the average time for an appliance to arrive at the scene following a 999 call was eight minutes and 20 seconds. This was up from an average of six minutes and 51 seconds in 2014, with response times increasing almost every consecutive year over the decade. Response times for 'risk to life' incidents where the chances of encountering a casualty are considered to be much higher have also risen over the decade, from seven minutes and 13 seconds in 2014 to eight minutes and 42 seconds last year. The Scottish Conservatives said that over the 10 years the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) saw its funding cut in real terms by £57 million by the Scottish Government, while the number of firefighters fell by almost 1,000. The party's community safety minister Sharon Dowey MSP called for action to tackle the issues. She said: 'Our firefighters do an incredible job, but the SNP's savage and sustained budget cuts are putting public safety in jeopardy. 'It's little wonder that emergency response times have hit their slowest rate in 10 years, when the nationalists have imposed a real terms cut of £57 million and the number of firefighters has dropped by 1,000 within a decade. 'On the SNP's watch, 18 fire stations have no running water, most fire engines are over 10 years old, and many stations are in poor condition with several set to be closed. 'Their continual contempt for our fire service and failure to maintain crucial firefighter numbers is an abject dereliction of duty which will almost certainly have resulted in lives being lost. 'It is crucial that SNP ministers step in now and urgently protect the public by giving the fire service the resources they desperately need.' A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'We continue to support the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) with substantial year-on-year budget increases that enable our firefighters to deliver a high standard of services and keep our communities safe. 'This year's Budget includes £412.2 million for SFRS – an increase of £18.8 million and Scotland continues to have more firefighters per capita than other parts of the UK. 'Whilst the deployment of SFRS resources is an operational matter for the chief fire officer, their targeted approach to risk and allocation of resource overtook the focus given to response times some years ago – and the service continues to respond to every emergency incident with the appropriate level of resource.' SFRS has been asked for comment. Get all the latest news from around the country Follow STV News Scan the QR code on your mobile device for all the latest news from around the country

What's the point of Anas Sarwar if he won't fight our corner?
Labour has ruled Wales for three decades and Scotland is probably superior in every aspect of governance, yet Scottish Labour disparages its own country at every turn. The UK does need reform, but it needs serious targeting to avoid hurting the actual sick and making the poor poorer. The UK has had a stagnant economy for decades, with perceptions of an untouchable and unchanging ruling elite (no matter which party is in No 10) and this has radicalised the electorate into losing trust in traditional politics. The UK needs growth. The UK needs industrial and infrastructure investment from the south of England to the north of Scotland. Why isn't Anas Sarwar insisting Scotland gets regional pricing for electricity instead of arguing for costly foreign nuclear power? Why is he not pushing for a per capita share of defence spending or carbon capture and storage investment, or asking why new trade deals are centred on cars and steel (important to England but meaningless for us)? If Mr Sarwar is not willing to fight 'Scotland's corner', what on earth is the point of him and his branch office puppet party? GR Weir, Ochiltree. It's the same old Labour A few weeks ago, I asked if Labour had reached peak insanity (Letters, May 25). Judging by the humiliating U-turn on disability benefit reform, we're still at base camp ("Starmer ditches key welfare reform as bill passes", The Herald, July 2). Once again, Labour has reverted to form: all dogma, no discipline, and a deep aversion to difficult decisions. We've seen this cycle before. Labour enters office promising fairness and social justice. But reality intervenes: growth stalls, spending soars, and tough choices are abandoned. Eventually, the money runs out, and the government collapses into chaos, clutching tired slogans as the bond market circles. Read more letters Despite the rhetoric, Labour is punishing the very people it claims to support. You cannot tax your way to growth, yet that's exactly what it is doing. Higher National Insurance, scrapped investment incentives, and new taxes on education and entrepreneurs have reportedly driven out over 15,000 millionaires, along with the jobs and investment they take with them. The North Sea oil and gas sector faces a crippling 78% tax – disastrous for energy security, as we're forced to import more at higher cost. Meanwhile, immigration overwhelms public services, yet Labour offers no coherent plan. Illegal migrants are housed in hotels at vast public expense, while there is no effective deterrent. Net zero dogma consumes billions in subsidies, dictates how we live, and delivers negligible – even negative – global benefit. The fact is, Labour continues to borrow endlessly, with national debt now exceeding 100% of GDP and more grief to come. Increased defence spending commitments remain unfunded, yet we hand over sovereign territory like the Chagos Islands, only to lease it back. Labour's slogan, 'fixing the foundations', has become an embarrassing absurdity. Same old, same old Labour – incapable of reform, allergic to realism, and, yes, destined to end in tears. Can we please just skip to the inevitable collapse before more damage is done? Ian Lakin, Aberdeen. When will they wake up? Douglas Eadie (Letters, July 4) in mocking John Swinney's recent article ('There is nothing wrong in Scotland that cannot be fixed', The Herald, July 1) stated that 'one saving grace was that he did not invoke the old chestnut that the answer to all our challenges is independence'. While I have never heard any independence supporter claim that independence will immediately solve all the problems currently facing Scotland, one wonders how much worse life for many living in the UK has to become before the other half of Scotland's electorate (the latest Ipsos poll for STV has support for independence at 52% with more general support for self-determination via the Scottish Parliament probably close to the devolution referendum level of 75%) finally wakes up to the stark reality of a fatally dysfunctional Union. Stan Grodynski, Longniddry. There is no conspiracy Brian Wilson in his article about the Arran ferries ("Is the Scottish Government secretly working to kill off Ardrossan Harbour?", The Herald, July 4) seems to be of the opinion that there is some conspiracy to ensure that Troon rather than Ardrossan should be the island's mainland port. I would suggest that the reason is much more simple. As Mr Wilson has pointed out, Troon has existing, relatively new, infrastructure suitable for the largest ferries ever likely to serve Arran. That existing infrastructure, with some minor modifications, has been shown in recent times to perform well handling two quite different types of vessel. In contrast Ardrossan requires very considerable capital expenditure to perform to the same operational standard as Troon. After the ending of the Burns & Laird Belfast ro-ro service in 1976 and the eventual move of all Scotland's Irish services from both Ardrossan and Troon to Cairnryan, what is still referred to locally as the Irish berth has deteriorated to such an extent that it is no longer safe to use. As for the existing Arran ro-ro berth this needs to be reconfigured at very considerable cost to ensure CalMac's new big ships can arrive and depart safely – a need which was foreseen when these ships were ordered. However, unlike Troon's private owner which sees the Troon ferry terminal as an asset, Ardrossan's private owner sees no economic case for it making the investment necessary to enable that port to continue as a ferry terminal. As users of the Arran ferry now appreciate, Ardrossan has many advantages over Troon – not least the shorter sailing time and direct rail connection – but the balancing of these with the public sector investment needed to retain the Arran sailings at Ardrossan can hardly be considered as part of some conspiracy. John Riddell, Fairlie. A poll last week put support for independence at 53 per cent (Image: Newsquest) We must boost our civil rights Brian Wilson's article on Ardrossan harbour was all about an SNP plot to move the ferry to Arran from Ardrossan to Troon. I was not very impressed by the logic behind this alleged plot. What is however perfectly clear and beyond dispute is that the actions of the public authorities in this issue have been appalling What stands out like a sore thumb in this long saga is how the local people in Ardrossan and in Arran have been treated with contempt, and brushed to one side. What is the problem that is presenting such difficulty? The problem can't be the fact that CalMac has had ferries built to use on this service which were too big for the harbour and nobody noticed that until they were built some years later than planned. No, that can't explain it. Nor do I accept Brian Wilson's SNP conspiracy theory, that has no real substance. In fact, there is no problem with the ferry which could not have been simply resolved years ago, before the new ferries were ready. The problem is not with the ferry, it is with our democratic system, that is where the problem is. How can our 'democratic' system of government treat local people with such lack of attention. Such conduct by elected representatives at local, regional and national level would not happen in Switzerland: why? Because in Switzerland the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is applied in the democratic system, and this ensures that the people, at local, regional or national level have legal rights, such as the right to call a referendum on public policy and a referendum which the government, and any other public authority, must comply with. Is that not a good idea, and would that not be helpful to the campaigners on this issue? There is a petition on the Scottish Government website calling for this particular UN Human Rights Covenant to be put into Scots law, which our parliament has the power, under the Scotland Act, to do tomorrow. If you go online to the Scottish Parliament website, look up 'petitions' and go to 'view petitions', insert the petition number PE2135 and you will be able to read the petition, and if you agree with it, to sign it. Andy Anderson, Ardrossan.

But, for those who find themselves in need of Scotland's Fire and Rescue Service, it no doubt feels far longer. New figures released under Freedom of Information laws reveal today that the average time for a fire appliance to arrive at the scene after a 999 call in 2024 was eight minutes and 20 seconds - up from six minutes and 51 seconds in 2014. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Scottish Conservatives, who obtained the figures, claim the increased response time stems from a reduction in Scottish Government funding of £57 million over the same period, during which time the number of firefighters fell by almost 1,000. In addition, 18 fire stations have no running water and most fire engines are more than ten years old. When questioned over cuts to public spending, Scottish ministers instinctively claim they are constrained by inadequate funding from the UK government and complain they do not have access to enough 'levers' to control the nation's finances better. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad And yet the devolution settlement is at a record high, and the Scottish Government has powers over taxation that mean Scotland is the most heavily taxed part of the UK. Question of priorities With this being the case, critics can with some justification question whether ministers should be making cutbacks to a service that is so often the difference between life and death in emergency incidents. At some point - a point we have arguably already passed - raising taxes becomes counterproductive. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad And perhaps at another point, the size of Scotland's public sector will have to stop increasing. Meanwhile, ministers may have to take a closer look at how effectively public money is being spent. Universal benefits such as 'free' prescriptions and university tuition may need to be reassessed.
