Management of Transgender Individuals in Prison Custody
Lord Shinkwin: ...on his introduction. A more diverse House is a stronger house. I also commend the noble Lord, Lord Touhig, on his long-standing work on autism. Will the Minister ensure that guidance for schools on transgender issues takes into account the Cass interim report finding that approximately one-third of children and young people referred to gender identity development services have autism or...
Bob Blackman: I thank my right hon. Friend for that update. There has been much conjecture in the press about widely differing rules on transgender people participating in elite sports, with very different agreements made. Could my right hon. Friend give an update on her position, to ensure that we protect the integrity of women’s sports?

Keith Brown: ...’s approach to trans prisoners, which is not dependent on the possession of a gender recognition certificate. The possession of a GRC will continue to have a minimal impact on how the SPS manages transgender people. The important thing is that its process is one that is based on the assessment of risk—[ Interruption. ]—for the individual, for other prisoners and for prison staff. It...
Stuart Andrew: The Government is clear that we want people who are transgender to be able to live their lives as they wish. As announced in September 2020, we believe the current provisions in the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) are effective and allow for those who wish to legally change their sex to do so. The process of applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) should, however, be modern and...
Damian Hinds: ...erroneously in seeking to use the same language as the categories used in Question 108375 (“transman” and “transwoman”) and do not represent a change in the department’s definition of transgender men and women.
Maria Caulfield: ...to be commissioned in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, ensuring equal access to fertility treatment and preservation across England. Partners who are transgender men, or non-binary people assigned female at birth, fall within the NICE definition of same-sex couples, as they require Intrauterine Insemination as a first line of treatment. The...
Baroness Brinton: ...the Nazis raided and looted the Institute for Sexual Science. Some employees just disappeared and were assumed to have been murdered; their archives and research were burned. During the Holocaust, transgender people were deported to concentration camps, and many did not survive. Much more recently, in this last year there has been a chilling echo of what happened to Polish children in the...
Stephen Doughty: ...According to statistics, two of the three largest increases were in hate crimes against people on the basis of their sexuality, which were up by 41%, and those against people on the basis of their transgender identity, which were up by 56%. Hate crimes on the basis of disability were up by 43%. All hate crimes are abhorrent—the incidence of racial hate crimes remains stubbornly the...
Lord McConnell of Glenscorrodale: ...legislation, and that decision to go for a legislative consent Motion and legislate consistently across the UK was not taken lightly at the time. It was taken primarily to protect the interests of transgender people—not to protect the state or the union, but to protect the interests of individuals who had to live and work across the whole of the United Kingdom. So, this issue needs to be...
Tracey Crouch: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is assessing the specific fertility needs of transgender men to help make IVF access more inclusive.
Stuart Andrew: ...and careful consideration of all the relevant advice and the policy implications. This legislation would have an adverse impact on the operation of Great Britain-wide equalities legislation. Transgender people deserve our respect, support and understanding.

Anneliese Dodds: ...assessment she has made of the potential impact of removing countries from the approved overseas countries and territories provided for under Section 1(1)(b) of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 on transgender people living in the UK with Gender Recognition Certificates from countries and territories where de-medicalised processes of gender recognition exist.
Paul Scully: ...out a proposed approach to banning conversion practices. This will apply to England and Wales. The Bill will protect everybody, including those targeted on the basis of their sexuality or being transgender. The Government will publish the Bill shortly and will ask for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee in this parliamentary Session. This is a complex area and pre-legislative...
Alan Brown: ...what you want. That is what this is: a list of bogus reasons for the Scottish Secretary to introduce this section 35 order. Let us look at the equal pay section, which is unbelievable. It says that transgender people are going to cause problems with equal pay because if somebody transitions and becomes a transgender woman, they might have been on higher pay before and that could affect...
Karin Smyth: ...exactly the UK Government, who have not discussed this in advance of this coming here before us and have behaved outrageously, are expecting the SNP Scottish Government to do to help the rights of transgender people and women.
Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...set out a proposed approach to ban conversion practices, this will apply to England and Wales. The Bill will protect everyone, including those targeted on the basis of their sexuality, or being transgender. The Government will publish the draft Bill shortly and will ask for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee in this parliamentary session. This is a complex area, and...
