Conversion Therapy
Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Wyre) Wednesday 7th May 2025 Question To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to ban conversion practices. Answered by Nia Griffith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office) Conversion practices are abuse, and I can assure my honourable friend that this Government is absolutely committed to introducing a fully trans inclusive ban on conversion practices. This is a complex issue, and it is imperative that we get this right. We are working hard to draft legislation which offers protection from these harmful practices, while also preserving the freedom for individuals to explore their identity, and respecting the important roles of those supporting them. The previous administration failed repeatedly to deliver on this issue. We will not. We will publish our draft Bill later this session, as set out in the King’s Speech. |

Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Wyre) Wednesday 28th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 16 May 2025 to Question 51501 on Sodium Valproate: Compensation, which Government departments he is having discussions with on developing a timetable for implementation of the recommendations of the Hughes Report. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is carefully considering the valuable work done by the Patient Safety Commissioner and the resulting Hughes Report, which set out options for financial and non-financial redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. Department officials are liaising with other parts of the Government, including the National Health Service, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, the Department for Business and Trade, HM Treasury, and the devolved administrations, on the needs of patients and on the recommendations. We will be providing an update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s report at the earliest opportunity. |

22 May 2025
Sub judice resolution in the House of Commons Procedure Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 31 Jul 2025) The Speaker has requested that the Procedure Committee conduct a review of the operation of the sub judice resolution in the House of Commons. The resolution is intended to preserve ‘comity’ between the courts and the House, to avoid Parliament influencing, or appearing to attempt to influence, the outcome of court proceedings, and to avoid Parliament acting as an alternative forum for resolution of matters that are before the courts. Parliament is an important forum for discussion of matters of public interest and national importance, and MPs should have the ability to raise, discuss and resolve such matters swiftly and effectively when they emerge. The courts, meanwhile, should also be reassured that their important work is able to proceed effectively to ensure the fair and swift administration of justice. This inquiry will look at whether the current resolution, agreed by the House of Commons in 2001, continues to strike the appropriate balance. |
