[Plans to ban conversion therapy dropped
just a day after minister said
government 'wholly committed' to new law]

Thursday, a government spokesman told
Sky News that ministers will instead review
how existing law can be used more effectively
to prevent the practice,
which is outlawed in several other countries.

He said: "Having explored this sensitive
issue in great depth the government has
decided to proceed by reviewing how existing
law can be deployed more effectively to
prevent this in the quickest way possible,
and explore the use of other
non-legislative measures."

The U-turn comes just a day after
equalities minister Mike Freer told MPs the
government was "wholly committed" to
legislating to ban conversion therapy.]
