Mr Speaker
I am extremely grateful to the Minister and to all colleagues who have taken part in this set of exchanges.
Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. In answering a question from the hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant), the Minister for Women and Equalities indicated that same-sex marriage is in her “in-tray.” The normal understanding of a Minister’s in-tray would be that action is about to follow. Given that both the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland have repeatedly said that the issue is a matter for devolution to decide, I hope that at some very early stage, if not now, the Minister for Women and Equalities will return to the Dispatch Box to reconcile that oversight.
Mr Speaker
The Minister is indicating a desire to say something now, and I think the House is all agog.
