The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what progress she has made on the publication of the Government’s conversion practices legislation.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

Conversion practices are abuse. Such practices have no place in society and must be stopped.

As outlined in the King’s Speech, this Government is committed to bringing forward a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.

We continue to work cross government on this important issue with a view to publishing our draft Bill later this session.
