Conversion Therapy
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will publish a timeline for introducing trans-inclusive legislation banning conversion practices.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse. Such practices have no place in society and must be stopped.
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 abusive practices.
We remain committed to bringing forward a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, starting with publishing our draft Bill later this session for pre-legislative scrutiny.
