Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to permit outdoor religious weddings.

The Law Commission’s 2022 report on weddings raises a number of issues around weddings law, including giving greater choice in how and where individuals can get married.

Given marriage will always be one of our most important institutions, it is right that we take the time to carefully consider this report before we set out our position on weddings reform in the coming months.
