NC1

To move the following Clause—

“Report on civil partnership

(1)    

The Secretary of State must make arrangements for a report to be prepared—

(a)    

assessing how the law ought to be changed to bring about equality

between same-sex couples and other couples in terms of their future

ability or otherwise to form civil partnerships, and

(b)    

setting out the Government’s plans for achieving that aim.

(2)    

The arrangements must provide for public consultation.

(3)    

The Secretary of State must lay the report before Parliament.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This new clause provides for a report to be prepared on the changes which ought to be made to

bring about equality between same-sex and other couples in terms of their future ability or

otherwise to form civil partnerships. It replaces the current Clause 2 (see Amendment 1).
