Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answer of 14 September 2023 to Question 198188, whether his Department has made a further assessment of the implications for his policies of the Law Commission report entitled Celebrating Marriage: A New Weddings Law, published in July 2022; and when his Department plans to publish a response to that report.

The Government is still carefully considering the Law Commission’s 57 recommendations for weddings reform and will publish a response in due course.
