Puberty Suppressants Trial

Debate between Lord Sandhurst and Lord Paddick

Thursday 18th December 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Paddick (Non-Afl)]

My Lords—

[Lord Sandhurst (Con)]

My Lords, I understand the concern about illicit provision on the dark web, which is a very serious matter and difficult to manage. None the less, I must ask what provision is being made to meet potential claims for damages from young people like Keira Bell in the future who sustain permanent damage to sexual function and emotional well-being after being on the trial?
