Emma Roddick, a strong supporter of a ban, floated the idea that depends on Labour winning the general election.
A former SNP equalities minister has backed a four nation approach on outlawing conversion therapy for gay and trans people.
They are believed to violate an individual’s human rights, but critics of a ban worry legislation could criminalise parents. The Highlands and Islands MSP told the Record: “SNP policy for a couple of elections was that we hoped the UK Government would move forward with what was, at the time, a cross-party consensus issue that UK Tories committed to: to ban conversion practices.
She added: “While the Scottish bill planned would ban these harmful practices in Scotland, I hope that any new UK Government will look at the picture across the UK, and the evidence gathered in Scotland, and consider the best way to put an end to these practices wherever they are taking place.
