Civil Partnerships
(asked on 23rd November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they intend to made a decision on the future status of civil partnerships.
This question was answered on 5th December 2016
The Government received a petition on extending civil partnerships to opposite sex couples from the Equal Civil Partnerships Campaign on 17 November.
We are currently waiting for a judgment from the Court of Appeal on this matter and are unable to comment whilst legal action is ongoing.
The Government is committed to equality, and we will provide an update on the Government’s position on civil partnerships once legal proceedings have concluded.
