Written Question
Marriage
Friday 6th September 2024

Asked by: Julia Buckley (Labour - Shrewsbury)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when her Department plans to publish a response to the Law Commission report entitled Celebrating Marriage: A New Weddings Law, published in July 2022.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

We are aware that the Law Commission made recommendations for wholesale change of weddings law in July 2022. We will take the time as a new Government to properly consider this issue. We will set out our next steps on our manifesto commitment to strengthen rights and protections for women in cohabitating couples in the near future.
