Northern Ireland Budget Bill - Second Reading (and remaining stages) (Continued) ( 7 Feb 2023)

Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown: ...Executive up” to deal with the issues before them. I am somewhat bemused by so many politicians and Times commentators constantly telling my colleagues and me what DUP voters want, while, at the same time, showing that they are unwilling to listen to the authentic voice of unionism, as demonstrated constantly through the ballot box over and over again. Unlike other parties, the DUP stays...

3. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: The LGBTQ+ Action Plan ( 7 Feb 2023)

Altaf Hussain: ..., Deputy Minister. We broadly welcome the LGBTQ+ action plan for Wales, as well as its introduction during LGBTQ+ History Month. We have come a long way in ensuring equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people.

LGBT History Month ( 2 Feb 2023)

Stuart Andrew: ...of Finsbury. They paved the way for others, like me, to follow. As we look back, as a community and as a nation, we have much to be proud of. This year marks a decade since the introduction of same-sex marriage in England and Wales, a process since repeated in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is great that, since then, tens of thousands of LGBT couples have taken the opportunity to stand...

Business of the House ( 2 Feb 2023)

Chris Bryant: The position of the Church of England bishops on same-sex marriage is causing very real “pain and trauma” to many gay Christians. I hope the bishops will back reform in the end, “allowing parishes and clergy to conduct weddings for same sex couples”. I know the Leader of the House agrees, because I am quoting her words from her letter to her local bishop, for which I commend her. I...

Church Commissioners: Blessings for Same-sex Couples (26 Jan 2023)

Andrew Selous: ...was yesterday asked to make a small clarification. A simple majority in each of the three Houses of the General Synod could suffice to pass a measure and amending canon to change the definition of marriage in ecclesiastical law, but circumstances could also arise in which two-thirds majorities in the House of Bishops and the House of Clergy would be needed, and, as with all authorised...

Equal Marriage: Church of England (24 Jan 2023)

Andrew Selous: ...but was advised that a response to an urgent question would be preferable.

Scotland Act 1998: Section 35 Power (17 Jan 2023)

Tim Loughton: I believe the liberties and responsibilities of all citizens across the four nations of the UK are equal, which is why, among other things, I keenly supported the extension of same-sex marriage to Northern Ireland. I share the concerns about the rights of biological women to single- sex spaces, but I am most concerned about the capacity of children—minors—to determine their own gender and...

Scottish Parliament: Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 (21 Dec 2022)

John Mason: I certainly understand Kevin Stewart’s argument, but I disagree with him. I think that on same-sex marriage there is drift—there is a change. The Church of Scotland is one example of people being somewhat firmly against it and gradually moving their position over time. I think that my argument—

Northern Ireland Assembly: Assembly Business: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers ( 7 Dec 2022)

Gerry Carroll: ...of stoking inter-communal tensions to shore up its base. While the DUP refuses to govern, its one-time allies in the Tory party have decided to inflict more misery on people in the North. That same party indulged the DUP's boycott of the Assembly from the outset, first with the protocol Bill and then by re-entering negotiations with the European Union. After failing with the carrot, the...

World AIDS Day ( 1 Dec 2022)

Lloyd Russell-Moyle: ...picture globally, which I am afraid is totally different. Back in 2018, I said that “one young person every day is still diagnosed with HIV and young people continue to suffer some of the worst sexual health outcomes.”—[Official Report, 29 November 2018; Vol. 650, c. 496.] The situation globally has become bleaker. Last year, an adolescent girl or young woman was newly infected with...

Humanist Marriages - Question (29 Nov 2022)

Baroness Meacher: My Lords, it will be 10 years next year since I tabled an amendment to the 2013 Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill about humanist marriages. In response to it, the Government tabled their own amendment enabling Ministers to make this tiny change—we are talking about two words—adding “and humanists” to Quakers and Jews. It seems highly unlikely that any legislation will pass following...

Margaret Hodge: ...she appeared before the Committee, “Are you looking after that whistleblower? Is he okay?” She always gave me assurances that he was, but actually they raided his computer and telephone. His marriage broke up, and in the end life became so intolerable that he had to leave public office. It is one of the things I feel great shame about really—that I was not able even in that position...

Will the Minister also put on...

International Men’s Day (17 Nov 2022)

Miriam Cates: ...of those with married parents. Married men live happier, longer, healthier lives, and boys with committed, present fathers have better outcomes than boys in families who do not have that presence. Marriage is good for men and boys, yet marriage rates have declined significantly over recent years, particularly among lower income groups. Marriage has almost become a middle-class secret. Of...
