	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p>There is a lack of certainty on some intrinsic issues around caste, such as what it is and how it is manifested, partly because there had never been any form of public consultation on caste. It was accepted therefore by both Front Benches during the Parliamentary debate on this issue last year that the whole process, up to and including the commencement of legislation, would take time and should include a consultation on the proposed legislation. The Government is currently considering two issues which have developed and which have potential implications for the consultation stage. We would expect the public consultation document, including our conclusions on these matters, to issue in the Autumn. We will then be in a position to consider plans to introduce regulations. You may also wish to note the answer given to Lord Avebury by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, which can be found in the Official Report for 6 May 2014, Col 331-2.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant

	uin	205169
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>The proposed fees for converting a civil partnership to marriage have been calculated on a full cost recovery basis. Where comparable processes exist for marriage and civil partnership, for example, for housebound and detained persons, these have been mirrored in the calculations for the conversion fees. Subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary legislation, the fee to convert a civil partnership to a marriage will be:</p><p> </p><p>· £45 - standard procedure at a register office</p><p>· £99 - at the residence of a housebound person</p><p>· £117 - at the place of detention of a detained person</p><p>· £15 – special procedure where a person is seriously ill and not expected to recover.</p><p> </p><p>There will be separate fees for conversions conducted in consulates overseas which have yet to be confirmed.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that some couples may not have entered into their civil partnership if marriage had been available to same sex couples at that time. Therefore the Home Secretary has agreed to waive the fee for one year from 10 December 2014 for any couple who formed their civil partnership prior to 29 March 2014.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 15/07/2014 15:09:16 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant
