Humanist Marriage Ceremonies

Debate between Baroness Vere of Norbiton and Baroness Whitaker

Thursday 22nd November 2018 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Whitaker (Lab)]

My Lords, the Government have spent a very long time considering this mild, progressive and very popular proposal. Where does the opposition come from?

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

My Lords, it is not a question of opposition; it is a question of making the law right and fair for everybody. It is not right to prioritise one sort of organisation over another sort of organisation. We need to make sure that all marriage ceremonies are fair for everybody.
