The issue I wish to raise follows on from the discussion on the apology with respect to rights last night. Under the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015, difficulties are being experienced by same-sex couples in obtaining children's birth certificates, passports and other State documents. Is there a timescale for when that matter will be resolved? It probably involves a number of Departments. The Minister, Deputy Harris, is dealing with the issue which is impacting on many families. We have all been lobbied on it. Can it be dealt with sooner rather than later?
