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 want to draw my hon. Friend’s attention to The Daily Telegraph, which is not normally sympathetic to the Opposition—it has been known as the “Torygraph”. Its Wonder Women section backs a campaign on this issue, and a report in the paper in October included a quote that sounds very similar to the one my hon. Friend read out. Someone who is interviewed in the report says:

“I cannot believe it that in a developed country such a primitive reality would stare me in my face in the UK. I am deeply distressed”.
