To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what her planned timetable is for bringing forward a draft bill to ban conversion practices.

This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse - such practices have no place in society and must be stopped. We are committed to delivering on our manifesto commitment to bring forward a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.

We are clear that any ban must not cover legitimate psychological support, treatment, or non-directive counselling. It must also respect the important role that teachers, religious leaders, parents and carers can have in supporting those exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.

We will set out our next steps on this work in due course.
