Conversion Therapy

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when she expects to publish the draft Conversion Practices Bill announced in the 2024 King's Speech.

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.

We are absolutely committed to bringing forward a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, starting with publishing our draft Bill as soon as possible for legislative scrutiny.
