📣#GRRBill FINAL VOTE TODAY

Duncan-Glancy (Lab): "Disproportionate barriers for transpeople... Recognised concerns exist on impact on women & single-sex spaces... we've listened to concerns & sought the best possible evidence"

Barriers are in place for a reason - safeguarding.

Cole-Hamilton (LD): VAWG huge importance to him.
"Clear that no provision around changes in #GRRBill create new or additional threat to women. Making it easier to obtain a GRC does not change who can or is likely to access Single-Sex Spaces."
🤔Clipped for posterity... we'll see.

CH: "No SS or protected space currently requires the presentation of GRC/BC for entry. Neither are seen as valid ID. Trained staff undertake dynamic risk assessment as to whether it is appropriate to grant admission to that person. That goes for prisons as well." #GRRBILL #KPSS
