Reports (4)
  • Status is not correct "from the description, it reads out "sexual orientation only", so it shouldn't be as "ambiguous""
  • Status is not correct "This was only announcements of plans to ban. Plans are still underway, but current drafts are reported not to cover therapy, religious conversion therapy, or anything else that is consented to."
  • Other "Will be banned for everyone soon. "The Bill will protect everyone, including those targeted on the basis of their sexuality, or being transgender. The Government will publish the draft Bill shortly and will ask for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee in this parliamentary session." https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-01-17/hcws500"
  • Status is not correct "The government has not passed any legislation to date despite pledging to do so. The status is not ambiguous, the status is that conversion therapy is still legal across the board in England."
