Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 December 2024

Debate

Puberty-suppressing Hormones

Contribution

I thank the Secretary of State for addressing the points in my letter to him, particularly on the holistic approach to the health of trans young people. In his statement, he said that the order would “restrict the sale or supply of puberty blockers” to under-18s through private prescriptions. Can he assure me that that will apply to all under-18s, not just those with gender dysphoria? Otherwise, it will be used as an attack on trans young people, as he well knows. Is the order universal rather than targeting trans young people in particular?
