Scottish MP slams RIAS over refusal to publicise AJ survey of lesbian, gay and bisexual architects

摘要

A Scottish MP has written to RIAS secretary Neil Baxter criticising the body's decision not to publicise the AJ's survey of lesbian, gay and bisexual architects and asking the council to consider 'whether this was the correct decision'. Green MSP Patrick Harvie's intervention follows the publication (AJ 11.07.13) of the results of the AJ's survey and revelations that both the RIAS in Scotland and the RSUA in Northern Ireland had refused to publicise the survey to their members. Baxter had said that the RIAS council felt the survey was 'divisive' and would 'highlight something that the council felt was not an issue in Scottish practices'.
