House Of Lords Marriage Vote Update
Pink News reports a change on next week's timing:
Next week’s House of Lords vote on the marriage bill will now take place on Tuesday in the daytime after supporters warned voting in the early hours could put the bill at risk. At least 80 peers are expected to speak in Monday’s second reading debate, raising the prospect that a vote could have been delayed until 2am or later. Yesterday, shadow equalities minister Baroness Thornton said the debate should instead be stopped before midnight on Monday and then started up again on Tuesday at a more civilised time.
