	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The UK already complies with the vast majority of the articles to the convention including the criminalisation of forced marriage which was one of the pre-requisites of ratification as required by Article 37. Primary legislation will be needed to comply with the remaining extra-territorial jurisdiction provisions in Article 44 of the Convention before it can be ratified. The UK Government is liaising with the devolved administrations about ratification, including any further legislative steps necessary.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 16/06/2015 15:55:28 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
