I take this issue very seriously and I know that my colleagues in the Equalities Office remain committed to tackling conversion therapy in the UK. I am absolutely clear that this practice has no place in a civilised society.

My Ministerial colleagues and I share your high regard for animal welfare, and I am glad that the Government has set out a series of ambition reforms as outlined in the Action Plan for Animal Welfare. I am also encouraged that since 2010, the Department has achieved many changes regarding improving animal welfare.
