The UK Government is proud to champion LGBT+ rights around the world. The Government will be publishing a draft Bill setting out our approach to banning conversation practices. The Government will publish draft legislation which will go through pre-legislative scrutiny by a joint committee in this parliamentary session. We are committed to protecting those at risk of these abhorrent practices.
