During last week’s King’s Speech, Sir Keir Starmer set out his legislative programme in this Parliamentary session and made clear Labour intends to bring forward a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices”.

From a free speech perspective, the problem with this proposal isn’t just that no-one yet knows what he or his Government mean by that enigmatic phrase “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices”. It’s worse than that. If the difficulties encountered by every other Parliamentarian that has attempted to define the phrase “conversion practices” in a way that doesn’t interfere with a person’s Article 9 (freedom of thought) and Article 10 (freedom of expression) rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) are anything to go by, it’s likely Sir Keir and the two Government Ministers with joint responsibility for women and equalities, Bridget Phillipson and Anneliese Dodds, don’t know what the phrase means either.
