The Scotsman, on UK Politics, 12 November 2026
We do not republish articles from The Scotsman. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on scotsman.com (opens in a new tab)The Scotsman reports the Scottish Prison Service's statement to MSPs that all trans prisoners have been moved out of the women's estate after a June legal ruling, and the Holyrood committee's wider look at how the EHRC single-sex code is being applied. It attributes the central claim to the SPS in both headline and body. It gives space to concerns about the effect on trans prisoners and on gender non-conforming people. Nothing in the material supplied shows the article misleading its reader.
“says Scottish Prison Service”
The headline keeps the attribution, so the reader knows the figure is the prison service's own statement and not the paper's finding.
“I do have concerns that there are going to be real risks posed to these women.”
The Scotsman quotes a Green MSP on the risks to the trans women being moved, so the people affected by the transfers are not left out.
“harmful effects”
The Scotsman reports, in her own words, the effect the code is having on gender non-conforming people. It sets the account of those affected against the official line on implementation.
