[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill allows more organisations (likely religious groups and community bodies) to become officially approved to conduct legal marriages in the UK. Currently, only certain venues and registered people can perform marriages; this bill would create a new system for approving additional organisations to do this.

Presented by Lord Harrison.
