Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : She said the creation of a new Scottish Gender Recognition Certificate would indeed modify the operation of reserved equality law "in substance" if not the letter of it.
50% : But Lady Haldane's judgment made clear the veto was devolution in action, not devolution denied.
