Rishi Sunak may be ditching plans to use legislation to stop children from changing gender at schools.
Concerns have arisen over the legality of the plan, with Tory attorney general Victoria Prentis said to have warned that it could be unlawful under the Equality Act.
According to The Times, the Prime Minister is “backing away” from a proposal to bring in a new law that would see a ban on social transitioning in schools.
He is reportedly concerned about its potential to open up fissures in the Tory Party.

“The human rights of people trumps our own sovereignty, our own right to rule. I think every decision that the Tories make now will be blown out of the water, they’re a corpse Government.
“This is a contagion and it needs to be kicked out of schools. Get Mermaids, Stonewall and Pride out of school, they don’t need this.
“We need to educate, not indoctrinate.”
Michael Walker from Novara Media clashed with Daubney over the use of the term “indoctrination” during a lively debate on GB News, arguing that educating children on gender issues in schools represents the “precise opposite”.
A third of school children across the UK have been taught that a woman can have a penisPexels“Is this a problem?” he asked.
“If the child wants to change gender, and the parents want them to, should the school be able to turn around and say ‘no?’.”
Daubney said children are learning about the issue in the first place in schools, and it is more often than not a phase that they eventually grow out of.
No 10 insist that “no decisions have been taken” on whether legal changes could be imposed in order to ban schoolchildren from changing their gender identity.
Sunak’s spokesman told reporters: “No decisions have been taken.
“So I’m not going to get into speculation around ongoing work around this guidance.
“I think we’ve always said that this guidance will provide clarity so that parents have control, that children are kept safe, and that teachers have the appropriate information they need.”
The No 10 official added: “We’ve been repeatedly clear about the importance to proceed with extreme caution on this issue and that school should always involve parents in decisions relating to their child. But as I say this work is ongoing.”
