This issue centers on 'Section 35' of the Scotland Act 1998, which allows the UK government to block Bills passed by the Scottish Parliament if they modify reserved matters. This power was notably used in 2023 to block Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill. Proponents argue it safeguards UK-wide legislative integrity. Opponents view it as an undemocratic rollback of Scottish sovereignty.
