I want to clearly put on the record that the final move towards the dissolving of the concept of marriage would be just about there if this amendment were to go through. Therefore, I fervently disagree with it. I think that I reflect the views of many of my colleagues in that, although I would not for one moment say that I reflect the views of all of them. However, for the record, I would like to know what the substantive differences are between the term ‘relationship’ as we have now proposed in this bill and what marriage actually is.
