Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether her Department plans to give guidance to providers of adult talking conversion therapies in religious contexts in order to accurately communicate the harm and risks associated with conversion therapy.

The Government’s consultation on our proposals to ban conversion therapy closed on 4 February. Analysis of the responses will be used to further refine our proposals and inform the process of developing legislation for Spring, to be introduced when Parliamentary time allows. Once legislation is passed, Government will work with the relevant parties in the usual way to ensure it is clear how to comply with the law.
