Written question asked by Catherine West (Labour) on Wednesday, 21 June 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 26 June 2017. It was answered by Damian Green (Conservative) on Thursday, 29 June 2017 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
Marriage: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has made representations to the Democratic Unionist Party leader, Arlene Foster on the extension of (a) civil partnerships and (b) same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
The Government remains absolutely committed to LGBT equality and the Prime Minister has been very clear that any arrangement with the DUP will not affect LGBT rights in the UK. This is a devolved matter and is therefore for a reformed Northern Ireland Executive to determine.
