"28 March 2000".
"The Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Bill was introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 1 March 2000. Part four of the Bill makes provision for the repeal of section 2A (commonly referred to as Section 28 or Clause 28) of the Local Government Act 1986. Section 2A was introduced to prohibit local authorities from intentionally promoting homosexuality and from promoting the teaching of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship in publicly funded schools. The proposed repeal of section 2A has been the focus of intense media interest and debate in Scotland. This research note considers the background to the introduction of section 2A and its proposed repeal, as well as examining issues arising from the current debate, the Executive’s consultation exercise and the pre-legislative scrutiny stage of the Scottish Parliament’s legislative process."
