Conversion Therapy: Prosecutions
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when the Justice Impact Test for the draft Conversion Practices Bill will be completed; and what estimate she has made of the annual costs arising from (a) police investigations, (b) Crown Prosecution Service work, (c) legal aid, (d) court proceedings, (e) imprisonment, (f) probation and (g) applications for and breaches of Conversion Practice Protection Orders.
Answered by Women and Equalities
The Government published its Economic Impact Assessment alongside the draft Conversion Practices Bill, which can be found here. We will continue to update the Economic Impact Assessment after pre-legislative scrutiny concludes and in the light of new evidence and analysis, as is usual in all policy processes.
We are currently working closely with the Ministry of Justice on the Justice Impact Test to assess the impacts on the justice system.
