Text

As I expected, no answer is forthcoming. However, I will ask another question that has been asked on two occasions prior to this, with no answer given. Maybe we will get it today. Does the First Minister now agree that biological men should not be permitted to play women's sports, enter ladies' toilets or be placed in female prisons? A simple answer: yes or no?
