Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kate Green (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 May 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill.

The hon. Lady is right to highlight the general importance of the premises in English law in relation to most faiths, but I think she should bear in mind that in the Church of England the clergy are registered, that registrars are registered in our civil system and that, as I have said, Jews and Quakers already operate in a different legislative framework from that governing religions as a whole.
