The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 22 November 2024 to Question 14161, what her Department's timetable is for its consideration of marriage law in England and Wales.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

Marriage law is an issue of great importance and one which therefore requires careful consideration. The Law Commission’s report on weddings raises a number of issues around weddings law, and as a new Government we need to take the time to consider these carefully before setting out our position, which we will do in due course.
