Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. A recently published study of conversion practices in Northern Ireland showed that seven out of 10 people had endured conversion therapy via a faith-based practice. What is the Minister's assessment of that newly published study? Does he acknowledge the importance of banning conversion therapy, and will he commit in the House to banning it in this mandate?
