Marriage Registration Certificates

Proceeding contribution from Rupa Huq (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on Marriage Registration Certificates.

I did not declare my interest as a mother before; I do so now.

The hon. Lady makes an excellent point that the constitution of families has changed dramatically. Is she aware that, according to Gingerbread, there are now 2 million single parent households, which is 25% of all families with children, and 90% of those single parents are women. Given those figures, this erasing of women from history, as my hon. Friend the Member for Hampstead and Kilburn (Tulip Siddiq) has called it, seems even more anomalous.
