Rosie Duffield asked what recent progress has been made on publishing guidance for gender-questioning children in schools. She noted that despite a promise to publish by the end of 2025, there is still no guidance available. There is significant pressure on educational institutions and other settings to social transition children without parental consent, with potential long-term psychological harm risks highlighted.

Saqib Bhatti criticized the government's failure to meet the promised publication date of the draft guidance and called on the Secretary of State to act immediately to protect children from potential long-term psychological harm by providing schools with clear guidelines. He urged the ministerial team to put ideology aside and prioritize practical action.
