4.9 Deputy S.Y. Mézec of the Chief Minister regarding a timeline for the introduction of equal marriage legislation:

Since I lodged this question it has been comprehensively answered in an email which went out to States Members yesterday but I will ask it anyway just for the benefit of the public record. Why has the Chief Minister not brought forward a proposition asking the States to adopt a timeline for the introduction of equal marriage legislation, given that the consultation at the end of 2014 stated that this would be done by the first quarter of 2015?

Senator I.J. Gorst (The Chief Minister):

The report and proposition will be lodged during this States sitting. The reason for the delay was set out in response to a question asked by the Deputy on 28th April this year.

Deputy S.Y. Mézec :

No, I have no further questions, thank you.
