Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance when he will consult on legislation that will allow couples to convert civil partnerships, conducted outside Northern Ireland, to marriages.

Answer:

Conversions of civil partnerships conducted outside of the jurisdiction is a complex area of law, which would require careful consideration and agreement with other jurisdictions. It is possible that it could be considered as part of future policy considerations.
