Delighted that my Marriage Bill yesterday passed the next stage in its journey to becoming law.
It has come through Committee Stage unamended, and will shortly be back in the Commons for debate. Once it has completed its stages in the House of Commons, it must be approved by the House of Lords, and then receive Royal Assent, before it officially becomes law.
Thank you to all those who are helping me with this legislation to end all child marriage in this country, including those inspiring victims who have come forward to raise awareness about this issue.
