The Evangelical Alliance says the Government’s draft bill on banning so-called “conversion practices” in England and Wales is “deeply concerning”.

The proposed law states that a person found guilty of “abusive conversion practices” could face unlimited fines and/or up to five years in prison.

Peter Lynas, Director of EAUK, described the draft legislation as “badly drafted” with an “entirely subjective” definition of abusive practices.
