Gloria De Piero – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gloria De Piero on 2014-06-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential cost to her Department of including mothers’ names on marriage certificates.

Karen Bradley

The marriage certificate is an exact copy of the marriage entry which is in a
form prescribed in the Regulation of Marriage Regulations 1986. We are
currently considering how the information captured in the marriage entry can be
updated to reflect changes since 1986, as well as including the names of
mothers; the costs of doing so and the most suitable opportunity for doing so.
