Proceeding contribution from Baroness Deech (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 April 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Cohabitation Bill [HL].


Cohabitation Bill [HL]

It is reassuring to hear the support for the amendment. An answer to two small points would enable me to let go of this. One is that the noble Lord, Lord Lester, has indicated that the way the Bill is drafted, together with the amendment in my name and that of the noble Lord, Lord Henley, must mean that a couple is having a sexual relationship, whereas the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, said otherwise.
