It is a pleasure to speak under your chairmanship, Mr Gray. May I start by thanking those who signed the petition for raising the important issue of conversion therapy, and my hon. Friend the Member for Carshalton and Wallington (Elliot Colburn) for introducing the debate? I also thank all colleagues for speaking so passionately about this issue. I know how important it is to so many parliamentarians, and it is right that we should have this time to debate it. I will endeavour to answer the various questions put this evening. I am pleased to be able to respond not just to acknowledge the importance of the topic but to say more about the Government's approach to ending conversion therapy. We have a proud record of championing equal opportunity, and it is of great importance to me and the Government that everyone has the freedom to live their life as they see fit without fear or intimidation. I assure hon. Members that we are committed to ending conversion therapy in the UK and we take the issue very seriously. The Prime Minister reiterated recently that we want to end conversion therapy and underlined that the practice has 'no place in a civilised society'. The 2017 national LGBT survey found that 5% of respondents—people in the UK—had been offered conversion therapy and 2% had undergone it, with more than 108,000 responses. Acknowledging that conversion therapy is wrong and should end is only the first step in tackling such behaviours. The Government want to ensure that we correctly identify and capture these harmful practices. Officials are undertaking a review of the current legislative framework to see how conversion therapy can be stopped by making use of existing laws and offences. Many acts of conversion therapy are already illegal, including sexual violence and kidnapping, as well as inciting violence. We need to explore all measures to combat those abhorrent practices, ensuring that survivors have access to the help and care they need. We will continue engaging with religious organisations and groups to understand how best support LGBT people of faith. All major counselling and psychotherapy bodies in the UK have agreed to tackle conversion therapy in healthcare settings. We are also looking at international approaches, such as Germany's ban on conversion therapy for minors only or when an adult has been coerced, but we understand that different countries will take different approaches that best suit their needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The safety of LGBT people in the UK in every aspect of their life is of utmost importance to me, including in our work on conversion therapy. The Government appointed Dr Michael Brady as the first national adviser on LGBT healthcare and announced changes to blood donation criteria for men who have sex with men in long-term relationships. We are also taking meaningful actions to address long waiting times for gender identity services. Our goal now is to end these harmful practices, and we will engage widely and listen carefully so that we can develop measures that end them for good. Officials from the Government Equalities Office have been in liaison with Welsh Government officials, and no devolved competence has been requested by the Welsh Government.
