The UK Government continues to engage with and encourage remaining Territories that have not put in place arrangements to recognise and protect same sex relationships, to do so.</p><p>The UK Government remains open to further engagement with LGBT+ activists and organisations across the Overseas Territories to support increased recognition and protections for same-sex relationships in the Overseas Territories.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 08/11/2022 17:45:28 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
