Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on the review of information contained on marriage certificates; and when she plans to bring forward proposals to allow mothers' names to be recorded on marriage certificates.
Answered by James Brokenshire
It is right that marriage certificates are updated to reflect changes in society since they were first introduced in 1837. We are working with interested parties to consider the options for doing this.
It is likely that this will involve changes to administrative processes, IT systems and legislation. When we have completed assessment of the options, we will bring forward proposals to introduce the necessary changes.

Answered by Norman Baker
The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, was amended following the transposition of European Directive 2010/63EU, which came into force on 1 January 2013.
