Civil Partnerships and Marriage
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what recent assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of enabling opposite-sex couples to convert a civil partnership to marriage.
Answered by Dame Nia Griffith
In 2019, when civil partnerships were made available for opposite-sex couples in England and Wales, the Government ran a public consultation on the future of conversion rights between marriage and civil partnerships for both opposite and same-sex couples in England and Wales.
This Government is considering all options, and we will update the House in due course.
