The Health Bill has now moved to the House of Lords, with its Second Reading scheduled for 13 October 2026.
During the Bill’s final Commons stages, MPs rejected two proposed new clauses concerning puberty blockers and the PATHWAYS clinical trial and single-sex NHS provision for patients and staff.
Those amendments fell, but the underlying safeguarding, privacy and dignity questions have not disappeared.
Protect & Teach has therefore prepared a template letter for members of the public who wish to contact a member of the House of Lords and ask that these issues receive proper scrutiny as the Bill progresses.
The letter can be personalised and used alongside our detailed analysis and Live Tracker.

How do I choose a member of the House of Lords?
Unlike MPs, members of the House of Lords do not represent constituencies, so you do not have a single local peer to contact.
You can contact a member who has an interest or expertise relevant to the issue, has previously spoken about the subject, or is involved with the legislation you are writing about.
The UK Parliament website allows you to search members of the House of Lords and view their biographies and contact details.

Once you have chosen a member, check their parliamentary page for their individual email address. If no individual address is available, Parliament also operates a central forwarding service for correspondence addressed to a specific member.
Please personalise your email or letter. Parliament does not accept bulk email campaigns through its member-contact service, so we encourage you to explain briefly why the issue matters to you rather than sending identical correspondence to large numbers of peers. Do not include confidential information about a child, patient or individual case.
