answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2014 answer text <p>The GREAT Britain campaign is a marketing campaign designed to show the world that Britain is a great place to visit, study in, invest in and do business with. It forms part of a wider, international tactical campaign to attract visitors to Britain, and, as such, it has not taken any direct steps to promote visitor accommodation services or increase the affordability of holidays in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>It is not the role of government to promote visitor accommodation services because by doing so we would be in breach of EU State Aid regulations. The cost of holidays at different times of the year is also something for the commercial judgement of the industry.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 18/07/2014 11:23:19 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
