Liz Truss has said allegations about transgender charity Mermaids “should be properly looked at” after a Conservative MP called for a police investigation into the organisation.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge Miriam Cates said that over the past week “serious safeguarding failures” by Mermaids have come to light, such as reportedly sending chest-flattening devices to young girls against their parents’ wishes.
