Humanist Marriages In The UK (EDM597)

Humanist Marriages In The UK

EDM number 597 in 2014-15, proposed by Alan Meale on 03/12/2014.
Categorised under the topic of Marriage.

That this House is aware that the Government has recently concluded its consultation on whether to give legal recognition to humanist marriages in the UK; notes that in Scotland people are able to choose marriages which accord with such deeply-held beliefs; believes that the legal recognition of humanist marriages would be uncontroversial and would remove unreasonable unfair restrictions and disparities which currently exist in different parts of Britain; and calls on the Government to act sensibly and swiftly in its determination on this matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
