Civil Partnership Registration
A new legal status proposed for committed same-sex
couples in Scotland
It is proposed that same-sex couples be able to register
their partnership in Scotland in order to access a
comprehensive package of rights and responsibilities in
both reserved and devolved areas. To ensure this package of
rights and responsibilities takes account of the reserved
and devolved elements of this new status, we believe that
the Scottish Parliament should be invited to agree that
Scottish provisions are included in any future UK Civil
Partnership Registration Bill.
