RISHI Sunak is set to roll back on plans for a ban on gay and trans conversion therapy, according to reports.
The Sun reports that the Prime Minister will no longer include legislation to ban the practice in the King’s Speech – which will set out the laws for the next year – next month.
However, it’s now been reported that more than 40 Tory MPs have signed a letter demanding Sunak does not include the draft legislation in the King’s Speech.This will run down the clock so the bill will not become law before the next General Election. Meanwhile, one Tory MP told the newspaper that “under no circumstances” would they vote for a conversion therapy ban.It follows intense lobbying by Tory MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge Miriam Cates, according to ITV’s Paul Brand.
The MP wrote: “This bill will anger our base, split the party, and effectively put a Stonewall charter into law.Downing Street told The Sun that they do not comment on what is in the King’s Speech.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
