Context
Building on the previous discussion, this supplementary question focuses on the international efforts to promote safety and rights for LGBT individuals.
Will my right hon. Friend outline what she is doing to promote LGBT safety not just in the UK but abroad?
I congratulate my hon. Friend on his campaigning work on this issue. I am proud that we have announced the UK's first ever global LGBT conference, Safe To Be Me. It will take place in June next year, and it will bring the world together to end persecution, violence and discrimination against LGBT people everywhere.
