Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what avenues for recourse authorised clergy have in response to a counterfeit marriage falsely bearing their name as the officiating minister.
Authorised clergy would continue to be supported by the General Register Office and their local register office in the event a counterfeit marriage certificate were to falsely bear their name.
Arrangements are in place for a full investigation which would help to determine a falsely claimed officiating minister was not involved in the production of a counterfeit certificate.
