Conversion Therapy

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, by which date she will publish a draft bill to ban conversion practices for LGBT+ people.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

We remain absolutely committed to publishing a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices and we firmly intend to do so soon.

The first parliamentary session was incredibly busy, we saw the Government bring forward landmark employment legislation and hate crime parity for LGBT+ people.

This is a complex area and my officials and I are working at pace to finalise our approach to this important issue.
