Draft Conversion Practices Bill (Joint Committee) House of Lords

00:03 - 00:30
Speaker 6
Order, order.  Good afternoon everyone.  Today we are holding our first oral evidence session on the Draft Conversion Practices Bill.  The Joint Committee has been appointed to consider and report on the government's Draft Conversion Practices Bill, which sets out provisions to prevent and criminalize abusive and harmful conversion practices.  I'll say now many thanks on behalf of the panel, of the committee, to all of our witnesses today for attending. 
00:30 - 00:57
Speaker 7
The committee is dealing with highly sensitive matters of which many people watching or listening may have direct personal experience.  We understand that some people may find today's evidence session distressing and difficult to listen to.  There are strong and honestly held opinions and we would ask all of those listening to do so respectfully.  Finally, there are several organizations which can offer support.  These are listed on our website. 
00:57 - 01:09
Speaker 2
And I'm sure we all wish to approach these very important matters with due care and respect.  To begin, can I ask the witnesses to introduce themselves?  I'll start with Professor. 
01:09 - 01:19
Speaker 5
I'm Professor Ilias Trispiotis, Chair in Human Rights Law at the University of Leeds, and I also chair the Legal Forum of the Ban Conversion Practices Coalition.
