Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Civil Partnership Act 2004 (International Immunities and Privileges, Companies and Adoption) Order 2005.
Civil Partnership Act 2004 (International Immunities and Privileges, Companies and Adoption) Order 2005
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for his explanation. We are getting into a field that is rather novel to me and I am not sure that I would understand all the ins and outs of it. However, one of the strange anomalies is that if two old sisters living together thought they would like to adopt a child, they would not be allowed to have a civil partnership under the civil partnership law. Could one of them adopt a child, or would it count against them that they were in a relationship within the prohibited degrees in the Civil Partnership Act?
