Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill.
Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill
Does my right hon. Friend agree that by accepting this group of Lords amendments, we will be completing a journey that started, as she rightly said, with the Adoption and Children Act 2002? I and other hon. Members moved amendments to that legislation to give same-sex couples the right to apply to adopt. They were opposed by Conservative Front Benchers, which resulted in your resignation from that Front Bench, Mr Speaker, and started you on a journey that resulted in your being in the Chair this evening.
