Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timescale is for the new arrangements to register mothers' names on marriage records under the terms of the Civil Partnerships, Marriages and Deaths (Registration Etc.) Act 2019 to come into effect.
The General Register Office (GRO) is currently working on the secondary legislation, IT systems and administrative processes that are required to implement the marriage schedule system. An implementation timescale will be announced in due course.
