Equality Bill moving to the Lords

The Equality Bill is now going through its final debate in the Commons. After this, the bill will move to the Lords, where we will be seeking amendments.

As you may have read already in the papers, our primary focus will be on lifting the current ban on Civil Partnership Ceremonies from taking place in religious buildings.

This is something that a lot of you had got in touch about, and something that we feel can easily be reversed by the Equality Bill. We will be working with Stonewall and others to ensure that we have the votes to get the amendment through.

Stay tuned for updates.
