Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will publish a timeline for introducing trans-inclusive legislation banning conversion practices.

This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse. Such practices have no place in society and must be stopped.

This is a complex issue, and it is imperative that we get this right.That is why, in collaboration with Ministerial colleagues, my officials and I are working hard to draft legislation that protects LGBT+ individuals from these abusive practices.

We remain committed to bringing forward a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, starting with publishing our draft Bill later this session for pre-legislative scrutiny.
