The legislative process for the introduction of same-sex marriage in England and Wales has just begun. This morning Maria Miller MP introduced the Bill in the House of Commons which will be debated, amended and hopefully become law later this year.
The full bill text will be released tomorrow, and the main (“second reading”) debate in the Commons will be on Tuesday February 5th.
It is expected to pass in the Commons and face a tougher battle in the Lords, where it is possible the Parliament Act will be used to force the legislation through.
