Cohabitation (No. 2) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would give legal rights to unmarried couples who live together (cohabitants). Currently, cohabiting partners have fewer legal protections than married couples; this bill aims to change that by giving them similar rights regarding inheritance, property, and relationship breakdowns.

Presented by Mary Creagh.
