Business of the House

Business question from Karen Bradley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 March 2021. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

I look forward to receiving my right hon. Friend’s response to my Committee’s report. Mr Speaker, I am sure that

you have many constituents, as I do, who are looking forward to being able to get married. The news in the road map that they can get married from 12 April has brought joy to so many, but due to what I would describe as an anomaly in the guidelines, it appears that they could legally get married from 12 April in a gymnasium, a hairdresser or even walking down the aisle of a supermarket, but not in a dedicated wedding venue. Will my right hon. Friend find time for a debate on the important role that the wedding sector plays and how it has been devastated by covid, and will he use his good offices to encourage his ministerial colleagues to deal with this anomaly as soon as possible?
