Marriage

Question
What recent discussions the Church Commissioners have had with Ministers on the Government's forthcoming consultation on marriage.

There have already been discussions between Church representatives and Government Ministers on this subject, and more are in prospect. It will come as no surprise to the House that the Church of England holds firmly to the view that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman.
