Professional Qualifications Bill [HL]

Gender Recognition: Research
Wednesday 23rd December 2020

Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of (1) pressure from activist groups, and (2) decisions not to allow academics to speak at universities, on the amount of research commissioned by universities into the number (a) of girls presenting with gender dysphoria at clinics, and (b) of people who regret that they undertook medical treatment for their gender dysphoria; and what steps, if any, they intend to take in response.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Universities are independent, autonomous organisations and are therefore responsible for their decisions relating to research priorities and which activities to support.
