Marriage: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will publish the dates of meetings with each of the leaders of the four main churches in Northern Ireland at which the recognition of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland was discussed; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Northern Ireland Office Ministers have a regular programme of engagement which includes community and faith groups. These meetings cover a wide range of topics. The focus of recent engagement has been the restoration of a functioning Northern Ireland Assembly, precisely so important decisions relating to issues such as same sex marriage are considered by locally accountable politicians.
