Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: Implementation of the Agreement on Government Procurement (18 Jun 2020)

Bill Esterson: You will be pleased to learn, Sir Graham, that I have no intention of repeating exactly the same debate. I will just repeat what I said in response to the Minister—I think he was referring to this group when he mentioned the reviews. I take his point, and these are probing amendments partly for that reason. We accept the desirability of joining the GPA. We accept the analysis set out in the...

Damages (15 Jun 2020)

Peter Kyle: ...of whether they are married, in a civil partnership or not. A mark of just how far society has progressed is that, since the Act, two other forms of legal partnership, civil partnership and same-sex marriage, have made their way into statute. However, those living together but not for whatever reason deciding to civil partner or marry have been left behind. It is time for that to be fixed,...

Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 14 (17 Mar 2020)

Lord Harries of Pentregarth: My Lords, I firmly support this Bill, but I can well understand the fears of those who worry that it will undermine the institution of marriage. I suspect that those fears are more widely shared by those outside the House than they have been expressed within it. The traditional understanding of marriage is well expressed in the Church of England service in which one person pledges themselves...

Freedom of Religion or Belief — [Ms Karen Buck in the Chair] (12 Mar 2020)

Peter Grant: ..., so it was not easy to listen to, because sadly my religion, like many others—as the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) will know only too well—is used by people who claim to be of the same faith to justify deeds that would never have been condoned by the one we call our saviour. I thank the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate and thank both previous speakers for their...

Commonwealth in 2020 ( 9 Mar 2020)

Lloyd Russell-Moyle: ...covering the overseas territories, I want to mention their important role in the Commonwealth while highlighting that five of them—these are not even Commonwealth nations—do not recognise same-sex marriage, and it was this Government who, last year, rejected the recommendation of the Foreign Affairs Committee to make Orders in Council to require them to recognise same-sex marriage. If...

Historical Stillbirth Burials and Cremations ( 6 Feb 2020)

Tim Loughton: ...mothers who had sadly just given birth to a stillborn child, or a child who died soon after, would be left within hearing range of children who had fortunately been born healthy to a mother in the same ward.

Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 5 Feb 2020)

Baroness Shackleton of Belgravia: ...the noble Baroness, Lady Hunt, on her excellent maiden speech and I welcome her to your Lordships’ House. I listened very carefully to what everyone has said. I am a passionate believer in marriage. I am a patron of the Marriage Foundation. As noble Lords have probably realised, I am at the seedier end of this. I do not have the enjoyment that the right reverend Prelates have of marrying...

Business of the House (30 Jan 2020)

Tim Loughton: Is it not about time that we had a debate on the Church of England and sex? No sooner had my Civil Partnerships, Marriages and Deaths (Registration etc) Act 2019 become effective, and many happy couples have got hitched since new year’s eve, than the Church of England issued an edict to say that it does not approve of sex within civil partnerships—same-sex or opposite-sex. Not only is...

Health and Social Care (16 Jan 2020)

Elliot Colburn: ...since 1997, holding many positions in his party and the coalition Government. Although we did not agree on everything, as an LGBT+ person, I will always be grateful to him for voting in favour of same-sex marriage in 2012. To many people, Carshalton and Wallington seems nothing more than a suburban commuter town with not much history. However, hon. Members who like their history will be...

Northern Ireland Executive Formation (16 Jan 2020)

Julian Smith: First, I pay tribute to the hon. Gentleman for his work on the same-sex marriage regulations that came into force on 13 January, giving same-sex women and men in Northern Ireland the opportunity to marry by Valentine’s day this year.

Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2019 ( 8 Jan 2020)

Stephen Farry: ...in the Houses of Parliament. That is the choice, but reform must take place, and I believe that a majority in Northern Ireland support it. That is also the case with regard to equal marriage—same-sex marriage—and I think that the model in the rest of the UK is readily transferable to Northern Ireland, with only a few minor tweaks here and there. No one is arguing that the Churches...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (3rd Day) ( 8 Jan 2020)

Baroness Meacher: ...funding in the Queen’s Speech. Secondly, I want to refer to a totally different subject: my Private Member’s Bill, which I will introduce tomorrow and which gives legal recognition to humanist marriages. Scotland is 14 years ahead. Humanist marriages in Scotland account for 22% of all marriages, more than are accounted for by any religious or belief group. Northern Ireland, Jersey and...

Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2019: Section 3(5) - Motion to Take Note ( 7 Jan 2020)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: ...require action and it will require urgency. All those things will need to be delivered, I believe, in the first half of this year. As to the more vexatious issues, let me start with the question of same-sex marriage. There will be two consultations, one concerned with the religious notions of the ceremony itself. Those consultations are beginning. The noble Lord, Lord McCrea, asked whether...
