The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julian Huppert on 2014-06-30.

Sajid Javid

I have discussed modernising marriage certificates with the Home Secretary and we are currently considering a range of options. The content of marriage registers has not changed since civil marriage was introduced in 1837, so it’s right that we look at whether it still meets our needs.
