answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2014 answer text <p>Although the Government does not set specific targets for tackling homophobia in sports, all National Governing Bodies (NGBs) are expected to demonstrate equality in sport and many support specific programmes such as the FA with its “Football’s for Everyone” anti-discrimination plan. The Government is committed to ensuring this expectation of equality is upheld and in March 2011 called for an end to homophobia and transphobia in sport with the launch of <em>Tackling homophobia in sport: The Charter for Action</em>.</p><p>Since then over 40 NGBs and approximately 4,000 sports stars, fans and clubs from across the sporting world, including all professional football clubs, have signed up to the Charter.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 12/09/2014 11:43:12 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
