Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill: Committee of the whole House New Clause 1 (McGinn)

Government Bill Foreign Affairs

What this vote was about

This vote came during the committee stage of the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill, passed while Northern Ireland had no functioning devolved government. New Clause 1, tabled by Labour MP Conor McGinn, required the Government to bring forward regulations to legalise same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland by 21 October 2019, unless the Northern Ireland Assembly was up and running again by then. MPs backed the clause by 383 votes to 73, adding it to the Bill and setting Northern Ireland on course to introduce same-sex marriage if devolution was not restored.
