Divorce bill Second Reading

Managed to get to watch the Second Reading on the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill, with thanks to Bambos Charalambous MP. There was overwhelming support for the Bill, including very positive speeches from the government front bench (Lord Chancellor David Gauke, Minister Paul Maynard), the Labour (Richard Burgon, Yasmin Qureshi) and Liberal Democrat front benches (Wera Hobhouse) and current chair of the Justice Committee (Bob Neill). All the speeches are here

Great to see Bob Neill reading our Finding Fault briefing on the Bill (back row, smart suit!)

Straight onto Committee stage now.
