My Lords, I want to speak very briefly to thank the Ministers for listening to the noble Baroness, Lady Sugg, and the noble Lord, Lord Patel, and others who have been working with the RCOG and others to ensure that both virginity testing and hymenoplasty procedures are banned. As the noble Baroness, Lady Penn, said, to ban one without the other would have been unhelpful, because they are inextricably linked. It is particularly good to see that extraterritorial jurisdiction is included too.
I am also delighted to hear about the creation of resources for education and training, which is vital for working with young people and their communities to ensure that they are kept safe from virginity testing and hymenoplasty. Will there be special funding for this? Without funding and resources, it will be difficult to make sure that this work is carried out throughout the at-risk communities.
