I am speaking directly to the amendment unlike the previous contributor. I do not know why the Acting Chairman has interrupted me.As far as I am concerned, there is absolute logic in what the Minister is doing here. The suggestion that "spouse" is a completely different term for "husband and wife" is not the case. Many same-sex couples refer to their partners as husbands and wives already. I would point out that this was the equality referendum. It was to make it the same thing. There is no longer gay marriage-----
