HUMZA Yousaf hit back at Douglas Ross after he claimed the Tory party have a “zero tolerance" approach to hate at First Minister’s Questions.
He added that the practice has been around for “many, many years” – and that there is nothing in the upcoming Hate Crime Act that changes how incidents are recorded. Ross continued on the same line of questioning, claiming that the logging of hate crime incidents will be “stressful, costly, damaging to reputations and could lead to problems in the workplace”.
“There is a triple-lock protection because there is explicit reference in the bill itself in relation to freedom of expression. They were a matter of compromise between the government and members of the opposition,” he said.
