Thank you to Afzal Khan MP for voting in favour of equal marriage rights for same sex couples in Northern Ireland today.
Although this would only take effect if a new administration is not formed in Northern Ireland before 21st October and it would still require secondary legislation it is great to know our MP supports equal rights across all areas of the UK.
The amendment to extend equal marriage rights to Northern Ireland passed by 383 to 73.
Another amendment to extend abortion rights to Northern Ireland passed by 332 to 99.
