Draft Conversion Practices Bill (Joint Committee) House of Lords
00:03 - 01:08
Speaker 1
Order. Today, we are holding our second 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 criminalise abusive and harmful conversion practices. And I'm very grateful, with many thanks to our witnesses today, for attending. The committee is dealing with highly sensitive matters of which people in this room and people watching or listening will have direct personal experience.
We understand that some people may find today's evidence session distressing and difficult to listen to. There are several organisations which can offer support, which are listed on our website. And I will just remind everybody in the room that, under the rules on sub judice, we're not to discuss any live cases before the courts. Before I start with questions, I just have apologies from Olivia Bailey, who will be a little bit late. She's stuck in the chamber with the committee business, but she will be here post-haste.
And I think Baroness Prentice.
