The Scottish government has dropped its much-criticised plans to outlaw conversion practices. However, it still wants a ban in Scotland, but it prefers to allow the UK government to introduce one at Westminster.

They also want the law to stop parents and medical professionals from objecting to, or stopping, a child’s gender transition.
