Anneliese Dodds

Labour (Co-op) — Oxford East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 June 2025

Debate

Humanist Marriage

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making a powerful case. When it comes to equity, I am sure she is aware that the High Court ruled five years ago that there was an issue of discrimination. The approach since then has been that we need to wait for wholesale marriage reform, but this is a very simple change. Does she agree that the Government should just take it forward, given the overwhelming case for it, and not wait for wholesale marriage reform?
