Women to get gay-conviction pardons for first time
By Lauren Moss and Josh ParryLGBT correspondent and producer
Women convicted of offences related to being gay can apply to have their convictions removed, under an expansion of the government's pardon Scheme .
The Disregards and Pardons Scheme , launched in England an Wales in 2012, initially applied to only Men - and specified offences.
Now, anyone convicted or cautioned under former laws related to same-sex activity can apply.
One charity welcomed The Move but said pardons should be automatic.
Homosexuality was partially decriminalised in 1967. While lesbians were not explicitly outlawed in the same way as gay Men , they were sometimes punished for same-sex activity under indecency laws.
This means the government is unable to estimate The Number of women likely to be eligible and applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Offences sometimes used to criminalise behaviour between gay Men will also be included in the Scheme - " solicitation by Men " for example, which essentially criminalised One Man " chatting up" another, the Home Office says.
But pardons will be granted Only If certain conditions are met, such as the sexual activity is not an offence today.
Only 208 people have successfully applied for a pardon since 2012, shows. More Than 400 people's applications have been rejected because their convictions were not covered by the Scheme .
Jo Easton, chief executive of Unlock, a charity for people with criminal records, said the expansion was " an important step".
" We firmly believe people should not have to apply to have their record wiped of things that are quite rightly no longer offences, " She Said .
Those who successfully apply will have their convictions deleted from official records and no longer be required to disclose them during court proceedings or when applying for jobs.
Safeguarding Minister Sarah Dines hopes it will help " right the wrongs of the past".
