Transgender People: Conversion Therapy
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to ban conversion therapy for trans people.
Answered by Dame Nia Griffith
This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse. Such practices have no place in society and must be stopped.
We are committed to bringing forward a comprehensive trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices. This is a complex issue, and it is imperative that we get this right. That is why, in collaboration with Ministerial colleagues, my officials and I are working hard to draft legislation that protects LGBT individuals from these harmful practices.
We will publish our draft Bill later this session for pre-legislative scrutiny.
