Conversion Therapy

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether forthcoming legislation to ban conversion practices will include protections for those who are asexual.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse. Such practices have no place in society and must be stopped.

Through the development of the Conversion Practices Bill, this Government will deliver on our manifesto commitment to bring forward a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, implementing key safeguards for LGBT people.

We are committed to listening to all viewpoints as this work progresses, and to engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, organisations and all LGBT communities.
