Schedule 4 - Effect on marriage
Gender Recognition Bill [Lords]
10:00 am
Mr David Lammy (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Tottenham, Labour)
As I said, we discussed the matter at length with the Church of England and the Church in Wales because they have duties to solemnise marriages. The Church of England took a slightly different position on the point to that of the Church in Wales. Our obligation was to work with those Churches because they have legal obligations.
