The UK Government has today announced its plan to publish a draft bill which will “protect everyone” from conversion therapy.
The exact details of the Conversion Practices Bill remain unclear, however, it is claimed that the legislation will “not cause harm to children and young adults experiencing gender-related distress”.
A government spokesperson said: “We will be publishing a draft bill to ban conversion practices, protecting everyone. The Bill will go through pre-legislative scrutiny in this parliamentary session. We hope to send it to a Joint Committee for scrutiny and will work with the Liaison Committee accordingly.
