A draft “fully trans-inclusive” conversion therapy bill is to be published, the Minister for Women and Equalities Bridget Phillipson has announced, though no timescale has as yet been suggested.

But the Christian Institute (CI) says government should “ditch its plan” and instead “focus on enforcing existing legislation” and helping victims of genuine abuse to “access justice under the existing legal framework”.

Its comments come in a new report, Proving Tricky, which analyses how similar proposed legislation has run into difficulties in other jurisdictions, including Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia – and Scotland, where attempts to introduce a ban ended up with the Scottish Government handing responsibility to Westminster.
