Scottish Parliament Chamber: Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill

Linda spoke in support of the Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) Bill on Wednesday 18 March.

“Just as no one in Scotland should be targeted or victimised because of their race or religion, no one in Scotland should be targeted because of their sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability. The proposals will mean that the divisive and scarring crimes that we are talking about are taken more seriously by the justice system and by society more generally.”
