This is the list of documents available for the submission Emergency Motion by Councillor Chris Cunningham:- "This Council welcomes the UK Supreme Court decision on the legality of Buffer Zones in Northern Ireland. The decision validates and confirms the position taken by this Council from 2018 onwards, that buffer zones are the best and most appropriate way to balance the rights of women with the rights of those who may wish to change the law. In light of the precedent set by this decision we look forward to the Scottish Government introducing legislation to address this issue in Scotland. Those who seek to have the law changed are entitled to their views and to campaign for such a change but that should not extend to harassing individual women attending hospital or clinics. Women are entitled to seek advice and medical assistance in regard to their pregnancy. Their right to privacy without harassment must be respected and protected. The exact provisions of buffer zones will require to be developed and debated but for reasons of consistency and legal clarity this Council believes that national legislation is the most appropriate way forward. We therefore call upon the Scottish Government to commence the process of introducing legislation to this effect as soon as possible. Council agrees to work with the Scottish Government and partners to gather evidence about the impact these protests are having in Glasgow. We commit to working to ensure that the legislation is consistent with the rights of all parties but which results in women being able to access health services within the law and free from harassment." .
