Written Question
Marriage
Monday 8th June 2020

Asked by: Alex Cunningham (Labour - Stockton North)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the timeframe is for allowing the restarting of small weddings.

Answered by Penny Mordaunt

Our Plan To Rebuild, the Government's COVID-19 Recovery Strategy, is published on gov.uk and includes details on plans for weddings. We understand the frustration couples planning a wedding must be feeling at this time. We are keeping these restrictions under review and will ease them as soon as it is safe to do so. We will continue to work closely with faith leaders and local government over the coming weeks to go through the practicalities of doing so.

Marriages and civil partnerships under the special procedure for those who are seriously ill and not expected to recover, are taking place in some cases where it is safe to do so in line with PHE guidance.
