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.

I will not, as I am just coming to a conclusion.

If during this afternoon’s debate the Government can provide undertakings that they will put before us that full, reasoned legal opinion and give us the time properly to test and explore it, so that the concerns can be taken forward appropriately when the Bill reaches the House of Lords, we will of course be happy to take that time to ensure that the legislation is wholly fit for purpose. Without those detailed explanations, it is difficult for us to accept that there is some endemic objection in principle to introducing humanist marriage into English law, and that I is why I have tabled new clause 15.
