The government has insisted it "respects" devolution in Scotland as it defended blocking Holyrood's gender reform bill.

The bill means the age someone can legally change their gender in Scotland would be lowered to 16 from 18, there would no longer be a need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and someone would only have to live in their acquired gender for three months - reduced from two years.

Westminster is objecting to the bill on the grounds that it would have a "significant impact" on equalities matters in Scotland, England and Wales.

It is the first time Westminster has used the power since devolution nearly 25 years ago.
