Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether (a) she and (b) officials in her Department have had discussions with representatives of (i) LGBT organisations and (ii) conversion practices survivors in the relevant states of the US and District of Columbia on the effectiveness of legislation banning conversion practices.
