To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to WPQ 12787 answered on 11 November 2024 on Marriage: Relatives, what recent progress he has made on considering [i] marriage law and [ii] placing restrictions on marriages between first cousins.
The Government has announced that it intends to reform weddings law when parliamentary time allows.
The reforms are intended to make weddings law fairer, simpler and more modern, whilst protecting the dignity and significance of marriage. The aim is to launch a consultation before summer recess, which begins on 16 July 2026. It will focus on how people get married, rather than who is legally permitted to marry.
As set out in the answer of 11 November 2024, the Sexual Offences Act 2003 makes sexual activity with certain family members a criminal offence, but this does not include first cousins. Placing restrictions on first cousin marriage would require changes to the Marriage Act 1949 and could potentially require changes to the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
While the evidence is limited, it does suggest that there may be an increased risk of congenital birth defects to children whose parents are first cousins. We welcome evidence suggesting that the number of first cousins choosing to marry in England is declining.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to leave the European Convention on Human Rights or to amend its application to British law.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to leave the European Convention on Human Rights or to amend its application to British law.
This Government is committed to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and has no plans to leave it.
However, commitment does not mean complacency. The UK played a leading role in negotiations on the Chișinău Declaration which set out a European consensus on the need for the ECHR to modernise in response to significant, complex migration-related challenges. As this process has demonstrated, the UK does not need to leave in order to deliver reform.
The Human Rights Act gives further effect in UK law to the rights and freedoms contained in the ECHR: it is an important part of our constitutional arrangements and fundamental to human rights protections in the UK. It will remain part of our law.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he has had discussions with cabinet colleagues concerning the alignment of Northern Ireland's political donations law with that of the rest of the United Kingdom.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he has had discussions with cabinet colleagues concerning the alignment of Northern Ireland's political donations law with that of the rest of the United Kingdom.
The statutory framework for donations to political parties applies across the UK. This framework explicitly provides for Northern Ireland parties to receive donations from eligible people and organisations that are based in Ireland. Donations from Irish sources are subject to the same scrutiny by the Electoral Commission as donations from any other permissible donor.
The Government has set out its intention to introduce tougher rules on donations to political parties across the UK in the Representation of the People Bill. Changes to the political donations framework will apply in Northern Ireland.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Competition and Markets Authority on alleged breaches of consumer law in the heating oil market.
We welcome the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) commitment to urgently investigate reports from consumers about their experiences in the heating oil market. The CMA will publish the findings of its market study in June.
Ministers continue to meet regularly with the CMA and we will work together to understand its finding and develop options to increase consumer protections in the sector if required.
The CMA will not hesitate to take action if companies are found to have breached consumer protection law.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timetable is for the introduction of the Armed Forces Covenant into law.
The Government’s election manifesto committed to placing the Armed Forces Covenant fully into law. During Armed Forces week in June, the Prime Minister announced that Military personnel, Veterans, their families and the bereaved are to have their unique circumstances legally protected by central and devolved Governments for the first time under new plans to extend the Covenant Legal Duty to more policy areas and across the UK.
It is our ambition to include these statutory changes in the next Armed Forces Bill, which is required every five years to continue to have an Armed Forces.

Relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) has a vital role to play in supporting pupils’ wellbeing, health and safety. Pupils are taught a range of topics in relation to safeguarding, and guidance sets out that they should be made aware of the relevant legal provisions when relevant topics are being taught.
The RSHE statutory guidance is currently under review. The department is looking carefully at responses to the public consultation conducted last year, considering the relevant evidence and discussing with stakeholders before setting out next steps to make sure the guidance draws from the best available evidence.
