FULL EQUALITY IN PARTNERSHIP RIGHTS

Back to all Motions

Conference
2004 National Lesbian & Gay Conference
Date
30 July 2004
Decision
Carried

Conference welcomes the Civil Partnership Bill, but believes it falls short of full equality.

Conference therefore calls for the following:

1.Both marriage and Civil Partnership should be available to both same and opposite sex partners;

2.There should be legal recognition for same and opposite sex partners who are either unable or unwilling to register or marry;

3.Equality in pensions, tax and inheritance and employment benefits for all couples whether they are married/registered or not.
