Proceeding contribution from Sajid Javid (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Bill.
Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Bill
May I commend my hon. Friend for bringing this vital piece of legislation to the House? I know that this is something she has championed for many years, and I think all Members are pleased to see the Bill before the House today. Does she agree that this is an opportunity for this House to show unambiguously—to make it crystal clear—that child marriage is child abuse and that it will never be tolerated in our country?
